Fox saying 32 now.
Fox now reporting 32 dead.
On CNN, a young woman student just said she was in the dorm when the shooting began. She said a lockdown was called and then a short while later, the school lifted the lockdown and declared all-clear.
After the lockdown was lifted, the second shooting occurred across campus.
So why was the first lockdown rescinded? Was someone in custody other than the person who later shot up the computer lab?

Some of the injuries and fatalities may have occurred by people jumping out of windows, if that actually did occur.
32 dead now as per FNC.
CBS now reporting 30 fatalities and they are running the Jamal A cellphone footage with audible gunshots and screams. My god, it sounds awful. Just chilling.
Dear Lord. Don’t see how one guy could go from classroom to classroom doing that.
I am watching Fox News waiting for a map of some kind .
Without that, we are still in the dark regarding locations.
FOXNEWS>>>>>At least 32 killed and 28 wounded.
It’s a planned massacre. The disgruntled boyfriend story is complete bullsh*t.
There are reports saying he ordered the students to line up if front of the class room/shot execution style.
Not sure if true but that would play a factor in the death toll.
Someone named JAMAL shot a video of the shooting?
If so, he might have had a camera at the ready for a planned event. Is Al Jazeera running it too?
Or it could have been any one of the millions of people who have cell phone cameras.
God be merciful!
My heart aches for all those who will be receiving tragic news today.
