I'm a VT Alum (BSME, '95). You don't understand how much of a shock this is to a place like Blacksburg. When I was a freshman in 1991, they used to physically prop open the outer doors on all of the male dorms all night.

They only had "night monitors" in the female dorms and some of the co-ed dorms to make sure guys weren't going on panty raids.

They still talked about the last "violent crime" on campus that happened sometime in the mid 80's as if it was folklore.

This is one of the last places you would expect this to happen.
-------------------------------

Now I hear the total is up to 32.

my friend's talking to his friendd who was standing near one of the dead victims and he was telling him the scene and everything.

Wow, that is awful. 31 people dead according to MSNBC. Very very sad.

Holy shiot! I know a few people who go there! Gotta go check on em...

Damn, he chained the doors shut so people couldn't escape. All very random. So sad. I can't imagine the fear the students there felt.

looks like the cop has his hands full. :D

Up to 32 people killed. This is awful.

wtf is this world coming to. christ sake going to school is'nt even safe anymore wtf!!!

33 people dead and you're making jokes....wonderful.

One of my best friends goes to VT, luckily he was working when it all happened.

nah uh you dont have friends :lol:

This is crazy...I really dont even know what to say about it all. How can 2 people get shot and then 2 hours later another 30?? Thats pretty scary!! That place shoulda been on lock down and swarming with cops!!

This is what was posted on VT's web site - they are saying that there are 33 dead. Its all very sad!

Two shooting incidents on campus today have left 33 dead. Thirty-one, including the gunman, died at Norris Hall; two died at West Ambler Johnston Hall. Fifteen other victims from Norris are being treated at area hospitals.

The university is in the process of identifying victims and notifying next-of-kin. Names will not be released until that process is complete.

Counseling assistance for students is available at West Ambler Johnston and McComas halls until 9 p.m. tonight. Students are encouraged to utilize these services.

Counseling for faculty and staff is available in the Bowman Room on the fourth floor of Jamerson Athletic Center, accessible from Jamerson or the Merryman Athletic Facility.

The university will remain closed Tuesday. Essential personnel are to report for work. Classes are canceled.

A public gathering will be held Tuesday at Cassell Coliseum at 2 p.m.

I couldn't even imagine, so very sad

kinda makes people losing personal belongings in this storm seem so trivial. maybe its just easy for me to say since i have been unaffected by the storm, but as an outsider it seems terrible. my prayers have been with the victims and their families.

the school is F'd. They decided to hold classes even though they had a double murder on campus. Then the students hear gun shots and basically do nothing but sit in their classrooms. I don't get situations like this. Yes it's tradegic but it seems that it got out of hand because people don't think straight and do dumb things.

The cops don't THINK there is a 2nd person involved. This is one of the worst ways to handle situations esp. for the college. It's too bad he didn't just off himself in his room before taking 32 others with him.

sad part is ussually when something like this happens,someone else desides to immitate or out do the last person who did it. sometimes its not the best thing to put it on tv cause it gives other people accross world ideas

some awesome monday night quaterbacking going on here...

I was thinking the same thing.

right, just letting word of mouth spread it and things getting out of hand are better
something this big could not happen and not be on the news
