Gunman on Campus; Stay inside your building, away from windows; Shooting incident at West Ambler Johnston Hall
(Excerpt) Read more at vtnews.vt.edu ...
Actually, I meant it seriously, if flowerly. ;-)
What is the visual difference between a bullet proof vest and a suicide vest?
This guy had a mean vindictive streak and made it personal, too. :-(
O’Reilly mentioning the Sun Times info.
The police chief at the press conference said at least 2 doors were chained. The Palestinian kid, Jamal, who took the cell phone footage said he noticed policemen having a hard time getting into the main entrance to the building.
Somebody earlier in the afternoon proposed that the “perp” was in the building for some time before the shootings started...he would have had to be if he was the one who chained the doors.
Also, the chief said the shootings were in different parts of the Norris building, so he was definitely killing in more than one classsroom.
I’ve thought that if the two incidents are tied together, either the first was diversionary (which would also be in keeping with the Chicago Suntimes story about the bomb scares being to “test” security)
or
the first killing, if it was a girlfriend, was the random act and she was killed because she found out what he intended to do and the planned event was the Norris building...the RA was killed because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The campus has over 200 buildings. I doubt the campus police force has more than 50 total officers, not all of whom were on duty on duty at the time.
My - I thought the same thing, but sardonically, if that’s the right word.
Yeah, we will be lied to again.
O’Reilly saying the gunman was a Chinese National here on student visa.
I wonder if this killer Chinese national is from a connected family in China. Maybe this is also a diplomatic problem also. 24 yrs old, arrived last year. “lone gunman” bomb threats tested campus security by the killer.
Do you supposed CNN wants them banned?
From what I read, this lady was NOT an FBI agent. She apparently had worked for the FBI in the past, but right now, she's a mother of one of the students, and was calling in that capacity.
Maybe just one of those “truth is stranger than fiction” coincidences ? Genuine crime of passion going down earlier on a day something big planned by other persons unknown.
Because maybe he bought them from someone who erased the serial numbers.
Agreed.
I suppose...but aren’t there always students and people wandering around campuses of this size?
Though your idea is plausible.
Boy A still isn’t identified. ;-P
I agree with you.
Thanks for the clarification, SE Mom. :)
I don’t know if this guy was a Muslim or not, but 2 percent of the population of China are Muslim. And 2 percent of “a lot” of people is a lot of people, LOL.
Probably waited for after classes to start so they wouldn’t notice the chained doors. Basically trapping his victims. This was very well planned.
Pray for W and Va Tech
Does it seem that in our own Country we’re playing Defence instead of Offence it protecting our Own,,?,,,in the so-called upper echelon,,??
