Shooting At Virginia Tech-33 Dead!

[CC1]

I see no point in minimizing this event. It is the worst mass killing at a College or University in the history of our country.

There has alway been killing since the beginning of time. However there are events that distinguish themselves because of the circumstances, numbers of people killed, etc and this is one of them.

Chan, was the events of 9-11 just another day of killing?

(CBS/AP) A gunman opened fire in a dorm and classroom at Virginia Tech on Monday, killing 31 people in the deadliest shooting in U.S. history, a Justice Department official told CBS News.

The FBI and the ATF believe the gunman, described as a young Asian male, used two handguns in the shootings before taking his own life, sources tell CBS News.

At least 20 others were injured in the shootings, police said.

This would make at least 51 shot. That would take a lot of reloading wouldn't it?

With semi automatics not too many reloads. However I was speaking to my son and we both agreed that if the reports are true he had the students line up and then shot them if I had been #'s 5-20 in that line I would have rushed him to disarm him. Of course it is too early to know what actually happened.
I understand some students jumped out windows to avoid being shot so they may be able to give a better picture as to what happened along with the forensics guys who will examine the trail of shell casings, etc.

That was what I was thinking.

It would seem he felt he was on a mission.
I can not imagine that plain hatred or vengence could be sustained when your victims probably have no direct connection to you.

There was a Canadian Student there who reported seeing Police Officers running around campus yelling at students to run as fast as they can to a nearby building and get inside and stay away from windows and lock their doors.

Since no one here has criticized anyone for discussing this event, your post makes no sense.
