Virginia tech Shooting

[JDog]

Did anyone here hear about the shooting that happened in Vargina Tech University today? 33 people were found dead, and the shooter later got killed somehow, Im guessing he killed him self, its really scary, I know I don't wanna be going to VTU any time soon...

[Baka Nezumi]

No, I did not. That's so sad...... Those people expected to be taught that day, not killed.
Did you by chance try to spell "Virginia"?

Thankfully, the people I know at VA Tech are okay.

And let's not go to a college because bad stuff happened there. ::)

When I was applying to VCU, I heard about a girl that went there was killed, but that didn't stop me.  These things happen sometimes, and the best the colleges can do is find ways to improve security.

Yes, being attacked doesn't make a college a bad place to be. Well, at that time it did...but yeah I found it seven minutes after it got posted, during fifth period... ::)but don't tell anyone...I think he probably shot himself, another case like Columbine. and eight years after it too.

Man, the shooter is so stupid. Why do certain killers like that think that is the right way to bring a point across? Not to mention the innocent people who get hurt and killed in the process. So troubling... :'(

However, I am glad that Hi no Seijin is okay, even though he doesn't go to that college. It's a good thing his friends at Virginia Tech are okay, too. :)

It's not that the y have a point to get across. Most of the time, it's because people are in desperate times and they pretty much go insane...

In other news, some stupid kids at my school keep pranking and having 'bomb threats'. It's gotten to the point that it's just annoying rather than a real security problem. Our administration is stupid. We had ANOTHER 'bomb threat' like 2 or 3 weeks ago... God, not to mention, people keep pulling the fire alarm. One week, we had like 4 fire alarms because some idiots kept pulling the alarm. Once it was twice in one day...

Off topic for a second.  You may want to check your spelling on Virginia.

On topic.  I'm sorry this had to happen to people so young.  I don't think that because one bad thing happens, it makes it a bad place to be.

I just watched all about it on TV. Aparently some dude with a camera phone took a small video of the outside. It sounded crazy! There were four survivors, one of which played dead (I would have done the exact same thing) and I cann only pray for those families that are mourning the loss of their children, grandchilren, brothers, and sisters. May they rest in peace. And it was confirmed that the shooter did commit suicide. He's in hell right now regretting everything he did.

I heard, I heard today on the news. And I also heard it was the worst school shooting in US History.

May God bless the sould of all those who were lost, and may he nurture those who are suffering...

I think the Columbine shooting was much much worse than this recent shooting. Columbine was set up with a door on each wall, making it easier for the gunmen to manuver, and they had a lot more ammunition. I'm not convinced that this was the worst, but every school shooting is bad, no matter which way you view the subject.

In terms of raw death count, I think this one stands to be  the worst of US history. Remember last year when  a topic was posted about how there were like 3 school shootings, all around the same time?

[bgrugby]

Yes this is the worst shooting incident ever in the United States, as Columbine had 14 deaths including the shooters and 16 were killed in the University of Texas shooting in 1966 while so far there are 33 confirmed killed including the shooter, and it is a awful shame. What is scary is that there might be another shooter still at large as the shooter in the second shooting who killed himself did not match the description of the shooter that killed 2 in a dorm a few hours before. I pray that the situation is over and for the families of the victims.

yeah, and two of those weren't far from where I live. Well actually, just one, the second was on the bus.

EDIT: They named the killer, it was a 23 year old South Korean student who lived on campus.

Yeah, read about it in the paper.

Horrible; that's pretty much the first thing that I thought. And disgusting. I hate people like this. Either he was looking for attention, or had the "I'll go, but I'm taking as many people as possible with me"-mentality. A pathetic man in any case.

But I also blame a certain country, that somehow considers having guns a right, for this.

I agree... and yes, the right to have a gun in the United Sates is very foolish.
