Gunman on Campus; Stay inside your building, away from windows; Shooting incident at West Ambler Johnston Hall

Turns out the 19th was “David Koresh”’s birthday, so maybe the Waco blowout was scheduled.

WEIRD STUFF!

The entire campus is being evacuated. Just heard it on the scanner. Huge precaution for 1 or 2 shooters.

ALL faculty, staff and students are being EVAC from campus. Will being in a few minutes. Will not be allowed to return.

Police will continue to maintain area.

[They apparently are still looking for another shooter.]

Wasn’t it a little early for that? Maybe Korean War?

[Mac94]

Football board I’m monitoring is lighting up about a full campus evac ... get everyone off ... no one allowed to return until further notice.

I dont’ recall Charles Whitman being a “Vietnam vet”.

I hadn't heard that either. Whitman was an ex-Marine.

[CJ Wolf]

where are they gonna go?

SCANNER

LifeFlight is transporting a ‘yellow’ patient. Two ‘green’ patients to be transported by ambulance.

[GenuineChocolateFace]

Don’t think so. I think he was a marine - but only stateside, until a courts-martial and discharge. Never saw any info about him being deployed overseas.

WSLS: 17 students being treated for wounds to “other injuries”

[dragnet2]

Wasn't there a bomb threat at this school last week?

[AppyPappy]

Our offices at VT are open tomorrow.

“April is historically a bad month. I’ve always found that strange. Wars stop & start, people go postal, etc. Must by something in the spring air.”

Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr. were both assassinated in April.

[CedarDave]

Channel 10 reporting 17 students being treated at the regional hospital.

[AppyPappy]

One earlier in the month and one on Friday.

I can’t imagine them evacuating everyone on campus if they know they have the shooter. Seems to me they gotta still think there is a second shooter.

[Graymatter]

The evac order is probably so they can collect evidence neatly.

The Texas Tower shooter, Charles Whitman, was not a Vietnam veteran. He was discharged from the Marines in December 1964 and never served overseas.

Hitler’s Birthday is also in April.
