From everything I have heard all morning long, on the different talk shows, is that Emily never even knew the shooter...many of the former roommates of the shooter were interviewed, and they said, the shooter was so reluctant to ever talk to anyone at all, that they find it quite impossible to believe, that this shooter could even make himself talk to any girl, much less get into a relationship with any girl...these former roommates have said, that the shooter, almost never even spoke to them, even tho living in the same area as them...everyone so far, that I have seen interviewed on TV, whether its people who went to the same high school as the shooter, or college roommates of the shooter, or professors and kids who were in the same class as the shooter, has said, that this fella barely spoke to anyone, ever, that he always, always wore dark sunglasses, and then when he did take his sunglasses of, if someone spoke to him, he would not even look at them, but rather kept just looking downward at the floor..
In other words, this shooter lived in a world of his own making, which seemed not to include talking to anyone at all...everyone who ever knew this shooter, say that it is completely inconceivable that he ever had any relationship with any girl at all, and certainly there appears to be no evidence at all, that he even knew Emily...
Apparently this shooter would not even talk to teachers, he just ignored them....one of his profs was alarmed at his behavior, and asked to have him removed from her glass, as she was felt there was something wrong with this fella...she chose to tutor him in one on one sessions, and recommended to him, on more than on occasion, that he seek professional help, for what seemed to be oddities in his behavior and character...she also informed some authorities at the university about this shooter, and had hoped that they would find a way to make him seek some sort of mental health assistance...she also relayed the information, that it was almost impossible to get this fella to even talk to her...she said it took her several sessions to even get him to remove his sunglasses...
However, this shooter was accused formerly of stalking two other female students at the university...these young women were warned against this shooter, and told to avoid making any sort of contact with him, as they were uncertain as to his motives...he also appeared in the dorms of these two young women that he was stalking, and there was supposed to have been something odd that he did, to I did not catch exactly what he was supposed to have done...in the end, neither young lady pressed criminal charges against him, and the university apparently tried to deal with this guy, by directing him to get some sort of mental health help...
Everyone interviewed, who knew this shooter from high school, or from contact at the university, all describe him in the same way...a lonely, seeminly depressed young man, who never spoke to anyone, who would not look at people directly, who would not even removed his sunglasses...he spent most of his time, at his laptop, either writing stories(which were violent, and graphic, and awful), and he ignored just about everyone...he also did set fire to his dorm...so stalking women, setting fire to one dorm, not responding to professors in class, unwilling to hold a normal conversation with roommates, unwilling to look anyone in the eye, unwilling to remove his sunglasses, all this seems to point to a particularly disturbed young man...
So did he knew Emily?...I doubt it...there is no proof that he knew her at all...but since he already is known to have stalked two other young women who did not know him, I should think it is a fair thing to guess that he might have been stalking Emily, without her ever being aware of it...
So from whatever source the info is supposed to be coming from, that Emily was supposed to have been somehow in a relationship with this shooter, seems to me, to have been a completely lousy and poor source...
Of course, I could be wrong..I await evidence that anyone here has, that anyone who knew Emily, knew of some connection between her and the shooter, or that anyone who knew the shooter, also knew of a relationship between the shooter and Emily..until then, this is gossip, that some seem to be all to willing to believe...sometimes gossip is true, sometimes gossip is completley false...
Wow. That describes me perfectly as a freshman.
Eerie.
My question is, why the Engineering Building?
