I just wanted to put this out there; as those of you who go to PH or live in VA already know, today a student at Virginia Tech opened fire on campus, first in a dorm and them moving to two separate classrooms. The gunman had two semi-automatics, and afterwards he committed suicide. The final tally: 31 dead, 19 injured. Some of the injured may not survive the night.
This was worse than Columbine, with Columbine's 13 deaths. This was worse than anything we've seen before; everything done by a single student with two guns. This is one of the worse school shootings in history.
My neighbor's niece was in the dorm room where the student first opened fire, although thankfully she wasn't shot. Several of us on this site probably know someone who goes to VA Tech, maybe have brothers or sisters there. And i just wanted to ask, for those of you for are religious, pray for those at VA Tech. For those who aren't, be thinking of them. For those who died, and those who were injured, for those who lived but will have emotional trauma for the rest of their lives, for the families of the lost and the family of the gunman. Think of them, spare a thought. Pray.
If you have something to contribute to this, something to share, by all means please do so. Perhaps you know someone who goes to VA Tech but they made it out alright and you want to say so. Maybe you know someone who went to VA Tech but didn't. Or maybe you just want to express your own shock, horror, or concern. But please, be respectful. Don't post just to post.
