I've got a friend at this college, and can't seem to get in touch with him. Hope he's ok...
At least 32 people were killed in a series of shootings at Virginia Tech campus today. That’s the largest shooting spree that I can recall. Very vague details right now. There was a bomb threat last week that authorities think may be related to these shootings. No information on wounded/deceased yet.
update: the sole shooter shot self, died before police apprehension
update: "Some victims were shot in a classroom," university police Chief Wendell Flinchum said. The gunman is also dead, he added."
update: event being labeled the "deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history"
update: Several new details released today (Tuesday)
- Shooter was 23-year old South-Korean student, Cho Seung-Hui
- Left note in his room which contained the line: "You made me do this"
- Shooter was a creative writing student
- Ballistics tests have confirmed one of the two weapons seized was used in both shootings
- He was a South Korean citizen who has lived in the United States since 1992.
- His family lived in Centreville, Va., a suburb of Washington D.C., about 240 mi. NE of Blacksburg
