FNC now saying heavily armed asian man, with bandoliers of ammo, walked around and shot these people.

Hard to believe this was a lone gunman. Possible, just hard to understand. Does this campus have security??

A person with the will, a lot of ammo, a crowded compacted area such as a classroom/hall and no worries about other people shooting back can do a lot of damage.

Most college security guards aren’t armed—It wouldn’t have made a difference. The only thing that could have mediated this event would be the presence of armed civilians.

I’m guessing the guy shot his girlfriend and roommate this morning at
AJ. He was able to make it out of AJ and then back across campus to
Norris, where I’ll bet he opened up on the engineering department as
classes started.

I’m guessing only one nut case.

Yeah, VT does have good security, but it really is an enormous campus, and the cops there can’t be everywhere at once.
