Gunman on Campus; Stay inside your building, away from windows; Shooting incident at West Ambler Johnston Hall
(Excerpt) Read more at vtnews.vt.edu ...
I have not heard any news that there are 30 round magazines for a 9 mm, only 15-17. Wow.
Ok folks
For those of us stuck in cubicles..whats the latest on the ID of the shooter, and how many were there?
are they still alive?
YEP!!
Funny how we never heard of someone walking into a school and start shooting.
Like this guy?
And what about knives? Everyone on campus has access to those.
As slow as FR is right now this will take forever to post....just heard from my husband again...he’s a LEO here outside Richmond, Va.
Latest State Police report at 1:15pm stated perp was an Asian male and he shot himself. FBI and ATF are on scene. They believe the perp MAY have had military or law enforcement training and cannot rule out terrorism (they actually said a link to Al Qaeda) since this was a massive school shooting. They noted in the report that schools are often the target of terrorism over seas.
That was basically all in the report besides the number of fatalities.. Will post again if he calls me with any more info.
MSNBC saying that past shootings and this shooting at colleges done by asians.. who are angry!!! please!! MSNBC you are a joke... you would think you would have learned your lessons last week.
You think mere rules stop the seriously unstable from having one?
This is very scary. I have two older brothers that work at Universities. One at Temple the other at California University,(in PA) They both say the same thing about where they work: loaded with robot,Bush hating liberals.
Then you:
1. Need to find another school
2. Need to find new friends
3. Both 1 & 2
People like you are totally scary to me. You want to deny me the RIGHT to self defense in ALL situations.
THis thread is not about Giuliani. Giuliani's a gun grabber that has worked hard to render everyone defenseless, and he will use this occassion to futher his goal of doing just that. The other mention was handgun control inc, which Giuliani supports, and was the primary subject of the post you replied to. They already brought the call up for more gun control this AM at a WH press conference. Giuliani isn't fit to be President of a Free Country.
BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Government officials tell The Associated
Press the death toll on the Virginia Tech campus has risen to 31.
That was DC’s scenario...which I agree with btw
I think this is exactly what happened.
You think so? I hope that's not what happened. I'm not sure the shooter was smart enough to even think the way you guys are thinking.
Maybe they should fix all his wounds so they can take him out back and hang him? FWIW, the guy in the picture is identified as a victim at the link you retrieved the photo from. Not that that matters, he looks big-nosed enough to be a terrorist, right?
Exactly.
I’m not suggesting a bunker-type mentality, but at least being a little more aware, and having campus security keeping a closer eye on things, and at least realize that the threat is there.
This, IMO, was carefully coordinated...
...sounds like a terrorist type job to me.
I agree with you. I have problems with it too and I am a very strong advocate of the 2nd amendment. I could be persuaded that I’m wrong and I’m open to discussion. But I’ve seen too many people here just lump people like you who wish to think this thing through as feel-good non-thinkers. That’s just wrong.
