That’s okay. I got more information listening to those two students (The injured one called MSNBC from his hospital room.) than I have from this law officer and the school’s president at this CYA news conference.

For gosh sakes, those two callers were eyewitnesses and law enforcement hasn’t spoken to them? Meanwhile, the interview the interview with one has been linked on Drudge for over two hours! Why couldn’t the officer speaking at the news conference provide at least this information?

The only new things I heard from that news conference is that both dorm victims are dead and that the shooter shot himself and was carrying no identification.

This unbelievable that the shooter hasn’t been identified yet.

Most remarkable interview I heard all day was with the kid who took the cell phone video that they’ve been showing on CNN.

His accent sounded like he was Middle Eastern, and his name was Jamal Aberghouti (or something like that.)

Anyway, the reporter asked him why he wasn’t scared when he heard the gun shots, and saw the police running with guns (the reporter assumed he wasn’t scared because he continued to shoot the cell phone video footage.)

No joking...the kid replied, “I’m from the Middle East and I’m used to situations like this.”

From the rest of the interview it sounded like the kid was an okay guy, he was a grad student working on his thesis, and expressed dismay over the violence and the dead. But his statement was certainly interesting, to say the least.

Nothing was done...nobody was notified—virginia tech and the virginia government should be sued into oblivion.

A horrible tragedy that will turn into a major catastrophe if the truth does not come out!

Maybe because they were in the hospital and the police were letting them be treated for their injuries first. As I mentioned before, eyewitnesses are sometimes wrong. Their reports would have to be mixed with all the other information to get the full picture.
