Va. Tech president: Gunman was student
BLACKSBURG, Va. - A Virginia Tech student was behind the massacre of at least 30 people locked inside a campus building in the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history, the university said Tuesday.

The bloodbath ended with the gunman's suicide, bringing the death toll from two separate shootings — first at a dorm, then in a classroom building — to 33 and stamping the campus in the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains with unspeakable tragedy.


Some days it is difficult to admit I am part of the human race.

That is absolutely shocking but until America sorts it's gun laws out it'll keep on happening

its not gun laws that shoot people. It is guneducation. If they made every bullet cost 20k then atleast you would know that when someone was shot he really deserved it. A university student would have never been able to afford a masacre.

Condolences to those effected. Isn't there another place for debating the issues arising?

I think we leave this page for condolences, of which I would like to add mine.


Issues, such as gun control, can be taken to the heated dabate forum.

Shocking and very, very sad. sad.gif

I wish I could add surprising to that list, but it honestly isn't.

May all 32 rest in piece.

prayers for them and their families TalkFootball/praying.gif

This has happened before and we can only hope that it doesn't happen again....RIP

Sad, my thoughts go out to the students, friends and families.

Also, my utter respect to the professor who gave his life for his students. Now he was a true human being.

Professor Liviu Librescu, Holocaust survivor, and hero.

May he be blessed in heaven.
