There is a large hospital, Lewis Gale Medical Center, in Salem, Virginia which is actually closer to Tech than Roanoke Memorial. But Roanoke Memorial is a trauma center.

The point being; If students were allowed to carry on campus, maybe, just maybe one might have been able to put an end to the shooter before they got as far as they did.

Patriot’s Day has been a “movable feast” these past 20 years or more. It used to be April 19, but now it’s the third Monday in April or something. Anyway, this year it’s today.

I’m thinking The Religion of Peace is involved.

Actually there’s another large hospital in Roanoke, along with hospitals in Radford, Pulaski and Pearisburg (within 30-45 minutes of Blacksburg).

Montgomery Regional and the Roanoke Hospitals are the largest.

I was being generous with the word Almost.

A person who is nice, mildmannered and decides to go crazy is pretty much going to find a way to hurt someone if he wants to.

SCANNER chatter:

‘I need an accurate head count of the injured in hospitals. Don’t give it to me over the radio.’

Twenty + dead. Watch out for the new calls for massive gun control laws. VT MAY well be used as the example....It's for the children...!

Just heard the shooter has been described as ASIAN looking. They don't know if if he was a student or not. There is also some conflict in these reports. TWO incidents. ONE SHOOTER (declared) but the cops are saying there is no evidence yet to declare the incidents are linked? Watch out. If this was a case of Sudden Jihad Syndrome, it will be covered up, especially if there was really more than one shooter and one or more got away. If this was a planned attack by a terror cell this could just be the first in a series....
