Unbelievable…
It’s all I can really say.
Unbelievable…
This tragedy, albeit years removed is hitting home. In case you haven’t turned on the TV or looked at a news site today, here’s a summary:
BLACKSBURG, Va. – A gunman opened fire in a Virginia Tech dorm and then, two hours later, shot up a classroom building across campus Monday, killing 32 people in the deadliest shooting rampage in U.S. history. The gunman committed suicide, bringing the death toll to 33.
…
The massacre took place at opposite sides of the 2,600-acre campus, beginning at about 7:15 a.m. at West Ambler Johnston, a coed dormitory that houses 895 people, and continuing at least two hours later at Norris Hall, an engineering building about a half-mile away, authorities said.
Two people were killed in a dormitory room, and 31 others were killed in the classroom building, including the gunman, police said.

I am a Hokie. A damn proud one. I am saddened and shocked at what transpired earlier today on MY campus. Being an engineer, I’ve spent plenty of time in Norris Hall. I lived 3 years across a small field from Ambler-Johnston dorm (we called it AJ). Even though it’s been years since I’ve graduated, the victims are fellow Hokies. I do not know them, but we’re still a big family.
Please know, Hokies, I’m praying for all of you and your families.
