CNN is reporting that high winds are impacting life-flight helos from picking up some injured and taking them to other medical facilities.

...Is it just me, or does anyone else think all the evil stuff happens in mid to late April?
Columbine happened on April 19, IIRC.
As well as the Oklahoma City bombing.
...

And the FBI burned down a church in Waco, Texas.

Many Koreans are Christian (nearly 50%, iirc).

However, more than likely the libs are simply fantasizing, with no more knowledge about the shooter than we have.

At my Alma Mater, the University of Nevada, the campus police are all sworn peace officers with firearms and very competent. When I lived in the dorms, every school policeman knew me and every other resident by first name— at first I thought it was strange and now I think its exceptional.

Also, they have their own SWAT team and 2 sniper teams.

I’d say thats something for other universities to consider.

Great reseach, MZ. Chilling to read that floor plans for schools in Virginia etc are in terrorist hands in Iraq.

Not that we’re lacking garden variety nutcases here....

The reason I don’t think today’s massacre is terrorism: a terrorist wouldn’t stop up at the President’s office to kill him first, and then go after students (if indeed there is only one shooter).

Moving around takes time. If he was looking for maximum victims, he would have started in classrooms and stayed in classrooms, not started in the administration wing, begin a shooting there, which then launched a manhunt (much, much) earlier than would have been done if he started with and focused on only classrooms.

Make any sense?

Orlanda Selenas has a niece at V-tech. Says that the shooter shot the Resident Assistant in the dorm.

Libs are claiming on a couple of sites that the shooter is a Fundamentalist CHRISTIAN... But the Fox photo clearly shows a KOREAN????

Those two categories are not mutually exclusive. What do you expect a fundamentalist christian to look like?

"If this was a planned attack by a terror cell this could just be the first in a series.... "

If the authorities/MSM obscure what might be a muzzie attack it will be complicit in encouraging the next one. The public needs to know the truth S.A.P.

There is no such thing as a lone, crazed muzzy. If this is leaderless terrorism, leaderless resistance would have to be a major part of prevention.

That’s interesting. At most universities campus police are a joke.

Virginia Military Institute has the cadet corps. Virginia Tech is the university with an engineering focus. Two different schools.

Unless I’m severely mistaken, I just heard Dr. Steger make a statement regarding the shootings.

Not quite times ten....

"Up until Monday, the deadliest campus shooting in U.S. history took place in 1966 at the University of Texas, where Charles Whitman climbed to the 28th-floor observation deck of a clock tower and opened fire. He killed 16 people before he was gunned down by police. In the Columbine High bloodbath near Littleton, Colo., in 1999, two teenagers killed 12 fellow students and a teacher before taking their own lives."

from Yahoo's coverage
