If it’s not a conspiracy now, it will be by 5:00.
Isn't that a fairly good sign that the worst is over?
Normal.
I'll bet your servers are being taxed.
GMTA..see 299
The request was made at the scene.
Second attack(s) could have been in retaliation for first attack(s).
That worries me tremendously
I’m amazed that it’s snowing there.
I’ve never seen someone so obsessed over the Oscars or such other meaningless nonsense as Drudge.
From the Killfile blog:
KillfileMy wife is two buildings away from the action bus she’s fine. Seems like most of those affected are Engineering students and AJ residents.

I sure hope so.
From the maps I have seen, the two incidents happened at opposite corners of campus. I can’t imagine how a gunman could just casually stroll across the length of campus with all the police presence there.
That is possible. If these reports are correct, it was 2.5 to 2.75 hours between the shootings.
Breaking News: Police arrest suspect in Va. Tech shootings, additional casualties reported
11:28 AM EDT on Monday, April 16, 2007Associated Press
BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) -- At least one person is dead and up to nine more were wounded in two shootings this morning at Virginia Tech.
School and government officials say a gunman was arrested a short time ago.
Officials said one person was killed and another was wounded in the first shooting, at West Ambler Johnston Hall, a huge campus dormitory.
Virginia Tech officials say there were "multiple victims" in a second shooting, at Norris Hall, an academic building. Government officials with knowledge of the shooting say there were "seven-to-eight" casualties in the second shooting.
The Blacksburg campus is still locked down and classes were canceled. The university community was ordered to stay inside.
Aimee Kanode, a freshman from Martinsville, told The Associated Press that the shooting happened on the fourth floor of the dorm, one floor above her room. Kanode says students are, "locked in our dorms surfing the Internet trying to figure out what's going on."
"WHAT DO THEY NEED BOOTIES (OVERSHOES) FOR?"
They will need them for two (2) reasons:
1) Lots of blood,
2) Preserve crime scene evidence.
didnt this same thing happen at the same place several months ago??
April is historically a bad month. I’ve always found that strange. Wars stop & start, people go postal, etc. Must by something in the spring air.
I’ve been chastised for “that word”. I will continue saying “oriental” until someone decides to call me “American” instead of white. Now I do it more to deliberately be unPC. ;-)
NBC 10 reporter is saying that all roads to the area have been blocked off, and that if they or anyone leaves, they will NOT be permitted back in.
