Sure you did.

Seeing unconfirmed reports of the suspect being apprehended and the officer being pronounced dead.

It was a reasonable comparison. Sadly the silver lining is two victims instead of 50+ but the point remains the same. A violent shooting incident on VT's campus.

It was 32.

Until the details are known, it would be wise to not make any assumptions.

Seriously guy? Nobody is making assumptions. It was a simple statement, and you've blown it out of epic proportions with it. Stop being a drama queen. Thanks.

Regardless of the details, a shooting at V. Tech will always draw comparisons to what happened in '07. It sounds like it was related to a traffic stop. Whatever happens, I am sure this is going to shake this community that went through a lot in '07 and the results from that tragedy.

Not sure. He could have easily changed clothes I guess. They didn't really say what vehicle the shooter at tech was driving at the time of the incident.

Not sure how you got what I said is comparing it to the 07 incident but whatever. My statement was meant to merely point out a public shooting and vigilante within a few years in the same area.


Either way, I think this should be about what's going on at VaTech, not squabbling about any other irrelevant crap.
