My nephew works on campus and is there as of 30 minutes ago. I just spoke to his dad and the word in the area is that 20+ are dead and 28 or more are wounded. The local hospital is overwhelmed and they've been taking patients to Radford, Pulaski, Salem and Roanoke.
This is just awful.

Prayers for your nephews safety.
At times like these we all feel so helpless. We pray for the safety of all, knowing that 22 have been killed.
This is just an outrage.

It is awful. And the wounded aren’t going to be getting the best of care, either. I’m from Roanoke and my husband had at one time taught at Va Tech. I wanted to move back and besides the lack of job for him, our other primary consideration is their poor medical facilities in SW VA.
