Incidentally, the photos show a lot of sherrif’s vehicles, which means that a big part of that LE presence you are noting was drawn from the surrounding county. Just point of information as to how a small town can muster that much force.

...but the “person of interest” is not in custody, nor at large...

That leaves only one alternative.

I’ve been listening to Channel 10’s live feed all day. They have done a good job, all things considered.

I agree, but unfortunately there are also some really stupid answers

There are many questions that need to be answered .. but unfortunately there are too many in the media who are more interested in making an issue out of nothing just to make news ... while ignoring the important questions that need to be asked

Look at link 3055. The Suntimes is saying the bomb threats may have been to test security.

Thanks, yes, and the left wing is already saying how this proves that we need to even further prevent people from protecting themselves.

I’ve been watching CNN myself today. They’re more professional. Fox News? Sigh... I like O’Reilly and Hannity, but the whole network is too... tabloid-y.

CNN started a story on how this will open the discussion for the need for yet MORE gun control.

I turned the channel immediately.....

They thought he fled as did the cops. They seemed satisfied that the killer left the campus, maybe the state instead of pursuing. Out of sight - out of mind. The school was taking the le’ word for it. There was no pursuit. Inexcusable.

Re post 18, that Larry Hincker, a Virginia Tech official, referenced is the one who proclaimed himself “happy” that the Virginia bill that would have allowed students and visitors who had concealed handgun permits to carry on campus died in committee. His e-mail address is given in the post as hincker@vt.edu.
