32 killed on US campus

Man, people thought Columbine was bad... this guy just showed everyone up. I have so many friends and family that go to VTECH, live only 2 hours away from it myself. Called up everyone and everyone is alright. Some heard the gunshots that were like in the next building beside them. :eek:
 
Yeah im close to there too...im curious as to why there seems to be a gap of 2 hours between reports of shooting...anyone know what guns he was carrying ??:(

For the first incident or both?

Haven't said, hell they won't even confirm the two incidents are related yet. Still way too early to know anything.

The early stories are not encouraging at all, saying that it was two hours between incidents, on the other side of campus, and the kids were told to stay in their classrooms after the first incident info got out.

That's the messed up part but I guess the officials didn't know there would be a 2nd shooting. The thing is... if you can't find the first shooter then its safe to say he's still around somewhere..
 
Yeah, Tech is about to get sued out the yin yang. That place should have been on lock down after the first shooting.
 
yeah they already said two 9mms were found, and yeah they tried blaming it on games like counter-strike and GTA, what a load of fucking shit.
 
i dunno there seems to be a link between video games and violence ... i mean look at what they did to pol pot ,hitler ,and charles manson :p
 
i still haven't been able to get in touch with a few of my friends who go there, but from what the ones i have talked to have said, one class was a french 200 level course, and one was a graduate program with a bunch of TA's in it :( half of the people i know from high school went to tech... almost went there myself

I hope you can contact your friends.

Don't get too worried yet, it has to be pretty chaotic there still, students probably still trying to get a hold of their relatives and such, have to imagine phone lines are pretty tied up as well.

Like I said before, we still don't know the whole story (probably won't till end of the week). I don't want to be pointing fingers, I just read that bit of info and felt sick to my stomach.

Asked why the campus, which has more than 26,000 students, was not shut down after the first shooting, (University police Chief Wendell) Flinchum responded that police determined "it was an isolated event to that building and the decision was made not to cancel classes at that time."

Oh boy....
 
it's hard to lock down a campus with 9000 students living in seperate buildings and dorms or already in class, and even more challenging with 14000 students travelling from around the town who probably aren't paying attention to tv or the radio. anyone pointing fingers at the school at this time is an arrogant blemish on society because they are those who jump to immediate conclusions merely to forward personal agendas and place blame on others
