Animate Dreams Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6560685.stm Just letting you guys know... there are a few SSers there, too.
»1587200 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 At least 22 dead and several injuried. Sad. They have yet to find out if those killed were connected in any way, and they do not know if the lone gunmen was a student. The shooter is dead, the cops aren't saying if he was shot by cops or if he took his own life.
»1587200 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 One account said that the gunmen was looking for his girlfriend, while lineing people up and executing them. Unconfirmed at the moment.
jacob hunter! Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 !@#$%^&*... wth... I thought at first the topic was about you going there or something. thanks for the misleading topic !@#$%^&*le.
»1587200 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 It's not misleading. "Shooting at Virginia Tech" A shooting (ie, someone shooting a firearm) at Virgina Tech (they call this a school).
»1587200 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Two shootings happened about two hours apart. The school was not put on lock down after the first incident. They are not sure if the gunmen was the same in both shootings. The school is on lock down now, as well as the rest of the schools in the county. FBI is now on the scene which is protocol after 9/11.
»1587200 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Were you near any of it distort? What's going on there?

»1587200 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 At least you're alright. Do you have any friends who lived in those areas?
»D1st0rt Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 I have a friend who lives on the 1st floor of West AJ, and of course Bomook lives in building #31 up there As far as I can tell, I don't know anybody who was involved.
nikegurl637 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Bomook is fine too, I spoke to him maybe 30 minutes ago.
»Maverick Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Crap man that sucks, where is this going to
»1587200 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Fox news reports, "Federal authories are confirming 32 dead" and the shooter was shot dead by the police.

Dav Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 !@#$%^&*. Ive been following this all afternoon on bbc news24. Glad to hear you guys are ok, i hope nothing worse come of it and those in hospital recover.
Bomook Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 If he was in Pritchard he's fineYeah, the window in my room actually faces Ambler-Johnston. I heard the gunshot earlier this morning, but other than that, it's very safe in Pritchard.
Dav Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 the BBC article has updated that was cited in the 1st post.
rootbear75 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 add this toohttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...ml?hpid=topnews
Cancer+ Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Why would the police be so stupid to not lock the school down? The two shootings happened two hours apart. The second shooting should have never happened. Idiots. Hope everyone is ok.
jacob hunter! Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 ohh I didn't see the shooting part in the topic i',m so out of it today.
