Apparently some guy rolled into a dorm first then an engineering building with a shotgun. Few days ago had some bomb threats.

A CNN bullet list of facts!

• NEW: Police chief says at least 20 people are dead, some of them students
• University reporting that a suspected shooter is in custody, another sought
• AP: 1 dead, 1 wounded in first reported shooting on Virginia Tech campus
• Student describes situation as "mayhem"; says 2 students jumped from window

Weird, the info we got up here says 1 dead and suspect in custody, looking for 2nd shooter. 17+ injured.

I wonder why it's so off from what CNN has.

Wait, they had Jack Thompson in front of a camera before they even identified the gunman? Which, to my knowledge, they haven't yet?

What did they do, say "Jack Thompson" in a mirror three times?

Was going to make a joke about JT setting this up to happen, just so he can rant about it. Wasn't so funny, actually, so I'll skip it. But it does make me wonder...

33 dead so far. Its all over the talk radios here (I live in VA) and I know its going to go the way of Columbine with the media overuse.

Gunman was an Asian male who had actually shot someone earlier in the morning, left, came back and shot the school up for another 2 hours. He then shot himself in the face so badly he could not be identified.

The school superintendent says that the shooter in the second incident was a student, and the police are reasonable sure the the first incident was perpetrated by the same guy.

"Age by age have men stood up and said to the world, 'From what has come before me, I was forged, but I am new and greater than my forebears.' And so each man walks the world in ruin, abandoned and untried. Less than the whole of his being"

Did you guys hear of that one lecturer? Apparently his son got emails from students saying that he blocked the door from the gunman so that the students could escape through the windows. He lost his life to save his students. This entire situation is so sad... WTF is wrong with people?
