This is a terrible thing. I can't understand what it takes to make someone do this.
At least they got the shooter.
Our prayers are with the victims and their families and I hope your friends and family are safe.

Re: VA. Tech Shootings...
I saw early this morning and the news said "1 dead" and all morning the death toll went up. I was driving at lunch listening to the radio and they said "21 dead" and during the announcement they broke into the newscast to update it to "29" and then less than a minute later "at least 30" dead.
Tragic.
They also said "at least 2 dozen more wounded . . . "
I remember the Texas shootings where the gunman was in the tower. Seems like it was many months after the shootings that they released that he had a massive tumor in his head that was putting pressure on his brain and that was likely the cause of his insanity. I wonder what they will find as the cause of this lunatic's rampage, if they ever find out?

All I could think about was my daughter will be going to college in a couple more years, makes me think twice about letting her go
(that could have been her). I don't understand how someone could have that much hatred to do something like that. My heart goes out to all the families & friends who have lost someone in this incident.

I checked the two famlies on our street that each have a son at Tech and thank god both of them are fine. When I saw it on CNN it really hit home.

This is a bad deal. I feel sorry for the families of the children. I heard on one station that this guy went after his girlfriend first. Problem the guy shot himself and they don't know who he is.
Again my prayers are for the families.

Actually Hudlow, he shot himself. I live 30 miles from the campus and it has been tough around here today.
At least the shooter, an Asian male, will not have the chance to have some high power lawyer plead him out or get him off like a lot of our criminals have the luxury of today.
He has now been identified and we are awaiting the information on his indentity and motive which is claimed to have started as a domestic issue and exploded after he first killed his girlfriend and a resident assitant in the start of the shootings. Please pray for the dead, the injured, and their familys. This is a very bad time and will take a lot of healing. The PMZ
