Something sounds more ominous about this event. The death count is quite high. Hard to believe one gunman. 7.5% of the students are foreign born and most from india and china. Man i hope i am wrong about reading more into this than the typical columbine type assault.

Well, this guy (gal?) at least displayed some efficiency. The main thing that astonishes me with these 2'nd Amendment sprees is that usually the shooter gets so piddling few other taxpayers before they themselves exits the tax rolls. 21 dead/21 wounded puts this one slightly above mediocre.

Live free or die! God bless America!

email from a friend who lives in Blacksburg and works at VT :

"...I work at the Corporate Research Center which is located a couple of miles off campus so I was never in any physical danger. However, we're just in state of shock that this would happen in Blacksburg. ...."
