Gunman on Campus; Stay inside your building, away from windows; Shooting incident at West Ambler Johnston Hall

Uh, Fire regs?????
“The poison of Monty County spread fast.”
We always used to call it “Monkey County,” a holdover from childhood when we couldn’t get our mouths around a big word like “Montgomery.”
Although I think it could be a jihad, how ‘bout the scenario where the Asian goes to girlfriend’s room to shoot girlfriend and runs into girlfriend’s best friend/roommate. Kills her and then looks for girlfriend across campus?
A shot in the dark but I guessed Crystal Magnum was bi-polar 11 months ago.
That’s what they have said on the press conf...so- a total of 33.
I’m still amazed to listen to the police say..We are not looking for another shooter...and then...says...we are not certain these two incidents are connected. So? What does that actually mean? They’re going to wait for ballistics to come back?
In the meantime...I’m hearing Katie Couric asking the MOST blaming questions already...”people are saying”...
What a b#$%h.
Hmm. That second paragraph, if true, makes me wonder if the shooting didn’t take place in the “other guy’s” room...might explain why nobody else in that dorm would be able to know who the shooter is. Everything up until now (me included) kind of assumed that the girl was the one that lived in West AJ.

Those who have arms can protect the rights of others to speak; they can also prevent others from speaking. It all depends on the quality of the wielder.
He was a reporter. Another reporter with him said this on TV..he was let go in a minute..he was getting too “aggressive” with his questioning according to the other reporter.
And now I see VT is not planning to release any names till tomorrow. If I were a parent of a student there, I'd be camping in the admin office.
Man, can this Presser get anymore CYA? "Where do you lock them down?" Well, hey, how about radio, IM, etc....when the event happened? Not 2 hours later????
BBI Fan?
Hmmmmmm
If that is accurate that shooting had nothing to do with a girlfriend
Bump to your post.
Yes the asian looking guy on all fours on the ground was a Virginia Staff reporter for the newspaper . It was Confirmed on msnbc that he was reporting for the newspaper , & it was verfied by someone from the newspaper who the guy was .
Of course they need to investigate! WTH? It is a CRIME SCENE! A lover’s quarrell doesn’t explain more the THIRTY dead people! If you were a loved one of a victim, would you expect them to tell you what happened and why, or ould you just shrug and say, “Huh, lover’s quarrel.”
If what they’re saying about the police being unable to match fingerprints is true, then we can rule out that student charged with making a pipe bomb and lying about it. His fingerprints would have been on file.
Good work finding that, though.
Can't believe he said that. Guess the drills have been a total failure.
But you ignored the second half of my post. The reason why we have time, place, and manner restrictions is because the act of speech, in and of itself, is harmful to others.
Again, that is simply not present with gun ownership. My owning a gun, in and of itself, is not harmful to anyone, be it in an apartment off-campus or in a dormitory on campus.
I appreciate what you are saying, but your comparison simply is not apt.
It was stated in the news conference that two people were found shot in a dorm room, and transported to the hospital. Their identities have not been released yet.
I don’t know if they are dead or alive. Maybe another poster could clarify this.
I heard it was an overaggressive reporter.
