Updated:At Least 33 Dead in Va. Tech Shooting

Are there any other Warpathers at VT?

I am just stunned. No words.

I heard on the news the shooter chained some of the doors and didnt let people out. He also shot himself in the face and therefore making it harder for authorities to identify him.

Yeah I heard that too. He didn't carry ID and his fingerprints had no records. Theres another rumor saying he did all of this because his girlfriend had dumped him. Supposedly she was in the classroom he hit.

For now, you should know that earlier this year the Virginia General Assembly failed to act on House Bill 1572. This bill would have allowed college students and employees to carry handguns on campus --- with appropriate permits, of course. It died in subcommittee. Larry Hincker, a spokesman for Virginia Tech, the site of today's carnage, said "I'm sure the university community is appreciative of the General Assembly's actions because this will help parents, students, faculty and visitors feel safe on our campus."

Big C.

Did you know Ryan Clark? That is the first name they have released who passed away in the shootings this morning.

first off thanks guys for the shout outs.

second, i actually did know him. we werent friends really but we were aquainted. he was my old resident advisor. very good guy with a good heart who had a great future ahead of him. apparently he was killed in the dorm trying to break up the argument. RIP

to whoever asked earlier, i can tell you almost certainly that the class did not start at 8 am and last until 930 or 945. on mondays and wednesdays, most classes are 50 minutes or 1 hr 15 minutes.

when they heard about the shooting at 7:15, it shouldnt have taken them over 2 hrs to send an email saying that someone was killed, and i expect there to be big changes at the top for this negligence and slow acting

and rob, i wasnt mad at you for bringing up your point, i am just mad at the whole situation.

How can someone be shot death on campus with the shooter still at large and classes not be canceled? That's outrageous to me. It makes me angry, but mostly I'm just soooo sad. It makes me sick to my stomach. I want to punch a hole in the wall, but mostly I'm just trying to pray for the injured and killed students, their families, and everyone on and around that campus who was affected. It's so awful. I wish I could do something.

GM...ive wanted to punch a lot of things today, including some dickheads i was in a building with that we were evacuated into. they were celebrating the fact that classes were canceled at the expense (at the time we only knew of 2 deaths) of 2 dead people. u have no idea how badly i wanted to fight them

Why is everyone being so critical of the police force? Isolate the whole campus and cancel classes and make everyone stay inside? This was a freak, tragic accident. Who knew that an isolated event would blow up to this?

vcu is thinking of ya!

But if someone shoots two people in a dorm and isn't apprehended, then that person is basically on the loose on campus. At that point it's no longer an isolated incident
