Re: At least 20 dead in campus shootings at Virginia Tech

Now they're saying 22 dead and 21 wounded. That's terrible. I can't even imagine.

Re: At least 20 dead in campus shootings at Virginia Tech

This is the first I've heard of this. I couldn't tell from the article...

Have they caught the shooter?

Re: At least 20 dead in campus shootings at Virginia Tech

Horrible! First reports I saw this morning said 1 dead and the suspect was in custody. Now -- 22 dead and the suspect has been killed. I realize there is always a "fog" that accompanies developing stories like this, but that's a pretty big discrepancy. I think some prayers for Virginia Tech are in order.

They claim to have shot and killed him. However, classes have been canceled and everyone in the area has been ordered to remain indoors until further notice.

That's such horrible news. They are in my thoughts and prayers.

Chizik: "One thing that I’d encourage our fans…I want them to be the loudest stadium in the Big 12. I don’t care…I want Jack Trice stadium to be the loudest in the Big 12 and I think that creates homefield advantage.... I want to stress to everyone…I want this place to be juiced up. They bought 36,000 season tickets so there is a passion there…don’t hide it…let it out. I want there to be a passion in the stadium."

I-S-U!

I never have, and never will understand the rationale behind school/office shootings. Odds are, this guy was upset at a specific person and/or professor, and decided to take out as many people as he could. IMO, these people need to learn that their lives do not revolve around school and/or a job.

Through the fire and the flames we'll carry on.

Re: At least 20 dead in campus shootings at Virginia Tech

Didn't something like this (at a much lesser scale) happen at Iowa a few years back? As I recall, a guy who's PhD defense went bad, showed back up with a gun and killed some of the board members or something like that? I was overseas at the time and cant remember the details.

Point is, it can happen anywhere

Re: At least 20 dead in campus shootings at Virginia Tech

From what I have heard, the initial shooting took place early this morning and one person was killed. Then the shooter went into a classroom and started firing in there. What a tragedy.

Gang Lu, a PhD candidate in physics, shot and killed 5 people at the University of Iowa before killing himself. Here's a brief account of that incident:

Lu said in the letters that he was angry and jealous that his doctoral dissertation had not received a prestigious academic award. Linhua Shan had received the award.
This is exactly what I meant in my post earlier. He was jealous of one person, and took out 5. School and work are not the epitome of life people. Have fun! Having a 4.0 GPA is not the reason to live and die.

This is the second shooting at VT in the past year. wow. If this ever happened here... wow

Some People see things as they are and say why? I dream things that never were and say why not? When I took this job I said why not Iowa State? Why not winning? Why not bowl games? Why not sell outs? Why not national respect? Why not us? Why not here? Why not the cyclone family?
