10:21 - MSNBC: Students are urged to lock their doors and stay away from windows.  Whatever is happening is happening now.  I know Cav22 and a few others here go there/did go there.

Be careful.  1 person killed, 1 injured.

7:30 AM _ shooting at a dorm there.

10:00 AM - second shooting incident.

After second shooting, campus police announced there is a gunman loose on the campus.

they just locked down the campus.  All classes cancelled.

nah, just looking out for fellow getbiggers.  30,000 kids go there - chances are a few of them post here.

And if you check getbig before you check the local news...

Virginia Tech's website has info about it.

However, the site crashed due to everyone visiting at once.

The schoolwide announcement system is not working, according to students they are speaking to on the telephone.  However the students did receive emails.

The first shooting occurred at a freshman dorm.

There have been two bomb threat incidents in the last 2 days.  Two kids have jumped from the top story of a building trying to sescape, one hurting his ankle. 
V Tech student newspaper now reporting they have caught the gunman.  He has been arrested.  unconfirmed, and may have just been overcautious police pulling a suspicious looking guy into custory to be safe.  No confirmation from them yet.
Holy crap.

Associated Press:
There are 7 to 8 add'l casualties (injured or killed) just discovered on VT campus.

I just heard that there are possibly 20 fatalities now and that the shooter is dead; we definately need to pray for all VA Tech students, friends, and families.

Stupid Americans for allowing guns to continue to be prevalent i have to say. What's it gonna take to overwhelm the gun lobbies?

Didnt a bunch of Chetsnian rebels blow up/kill 300 grade school students in a gym last year?  Lax security on campus was responsible for this. Not a person being able to buy a gun. What a terrible situation.

I feel terrible for those kids that where doing nothing more then attending class.

This is the typical excuse, using the inevitable exception to allow the American system to continue. American laws re: guns SUX

Honestly pumpster I am not making excuses, nor trying to debate gun laws in this thread. I am posting because I feel awful for the victims of this tragedy.

Look at how many people die of guns in the US yearly.
