My take on the news conference with the Police chief and the University administrator is that they decided that this was a random act and felt that the University should not have been locked down. Two hours went by with no plan to protect the students. Sounds to me like they did not want to bring any unnecessary attention to the first shooting by using that time to do some damage control. This could be bad publicity for the University! Time will tell the whole story but it sounds typical. Lets not talk about the exit doors in the building chained from the inside. Virginia has no fire code?

“Oh, I wasn’t barking at you. I’m sorry if it came across that way.”

Oh, no....I can tell when someone is angry with me. ;-)

This whole day has been very upsetting and confusing to alot of folks and bad, hastily gathered information in the aftermath will not be a big help.

“Also note that from the press conference he supposedly was an exchange student who came to the US late last year. There are photos in the book from early last year.”

And he has a resume on the web saying he’s American and an undergraduate.

Well, being that Virginia has the headquarters for countless govt agencies its no surprise they could chopper into Blacksburg quickly.

I hadn’t thought of some people never being fingerprinted before.

Sounds almost as if the shooter did the deed in the dorm as a distraction - to draw all the police and security away from the place he knew he was really going to do damage - Norris Hall. The deliberate chaining of the doors to Norris Hall leads one to conclude that the shooter had this well choreographed to achieve maximum surprise and maximum damage.

Blood chilling.

....shot in the face.....well, assuming he only got one shot off, and unless it was a very large caliber pistol, or shotgun, I suspect the vast majority of his face was left intact.....sounds like something else is going on....

If the Shooter KILLED the GIRLFRIEND this morning, then her FRIENDS WOULD KNOW HIS NAME!!! WHY ISN”T THE MEDIA CHECKING ON THIS??

Maybe because she wasn't his girlfriend. Maybe she was just randomly picked to create a distraction drawing law enforcement to the dorm while the shooter took on Norris Hall.

Well, who knows whether this is guy or not?

The media is reporting a .22 and a 9mm were used, and it is a good thing that you looked at the guy’s web page, it will crash soon enough, no way that it can handle all of the bandwith that is about to tossed at it.

So Irish, I never looked at the page, but KUDOS to you for clicking that link, I hadn’t, all I could take away from the page was this C&P:

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to be sure to keep it in tact, you must give your heart to no one. Lock it up, safe in the coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless it will change. It will not be broken, but it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.

Let me put forward again, no one knows if this is the guy, he may be innocent completely.

Scanner fans in VA were on the job, and I would bet that someone was recording since the first murder was reported, there will be more to come.

CNN repoting on the press conference. Probably wrong.
