I’m sure that’s the case. Continued prayers for ALL the students, faculty, personnel and their FAMILIES!

I wonder how the would know it was small?

If you've heard them, you can tell by the sound.

[AppyPappy]

Just a popping noise rather than what you hear on TV.

CNN just said in custody the shooter

The first shooter (7:15) or the second shooter (10 AM)?

[STARWISE]

FNC saying 1 person in custody .. possibly 2 separate incidents .. reports of 8 casualties .. 1 killed .. 1 gunman still on the loose on campus.

latest from Tech

In addition to an earlier shooting today in West Ambler Johnston, there has been a multiple shooting with multiple victims in Norris Hall.

Police and EMS are on the scene.

Police have one shooter in custody and as part of routine police procedure, they continue to search for a second shooter.

All people in university buildings are required to stay inside until further notice.

All entrances to campus are closed.

“2nd possible shooter,” according to police.

[RSmithOpt]

The key to this is “multiple shooters”? If so, then there’s a hell of a big problem now in Hokie Land.

This is not about a ‘girlfriend.’

[VirginiaMom]

My husband is a LEO in Chesterfield County, he just got a State Police bulletin that says “unconfirmed” 12 dead. I don’t know how often the State Police bulletins are correct or incorrect. Just passing along the info my husband just called and relayed to me.

Prayers for all there...this is just HORRIBLE.

Sorry, forget WSLS.com, they don’t have a live feed. However I’m watching them live on TV.

A student on MSNBC said the first victim was a student - it sounded like she said he was dead. The second person shot was a professor.

[Velveeta]

Oh my God.

[Types_with_Fist]

This is not about a ‘girlfriend.’

It's sounding Columbine-like.

[VirginiaMom]

I have no idea if the State Police bulletin is correct. I pray it is NOT.

If you've heard them, you can tell by the sound.

I've heard many guns, I can't identify the size by the sound. But usually I can distinguish the caliber by sound.

Dear God.
