Press conference is saying twenty dead and the shooter is deceased. This is not a targeted shooting as the FOX news analyst contended. This is sounding more and more like a terror attack. Possibly a lone gunman nut job.

But.....I think that firearms are forbidden on campus. How can this be? Another group of sheep shorn while helpless before a wolf.

Are they still searching for another shooter? Someone in my office said that they think there is another one?

19 dead in Norris Hall..from Fox News.. One in Ambler. Probably the same shooter, probably tried to take out those in his dorms who knew, and then went to Norris Hall to finish his killing mission.

Some injuries came from students jumping out of the building to escape the shooting according to one source

No offense, but April 22, 1970 -- which, by no coincidence, was Lenin's Centennial.

But...it is hard to grasp. Somehow they’re saying the two incidents are not related?

This is going to take some time to settle down to facts...everyone including the police are in shock..

Gunfire erupted in a dorm and classroom at Virginia Tech on Monday, killing at least one person and leaving 21 injured before a suspect was arrested, authorities said.

Note the singular use of CLASSROOM; not Classrooms. Maybe he tried to take out the entire class + the teacher.

Nothing good every happens in April.

Columbine, Waco, Oklahoma City -- all in April.

Most of our wars started in April, too.
