Shooting at Virginia Tech / Statement by President Charles W. Steger

The university was struck today with a tragedy of monumental proportions. There were two shootings on campus. In each case, there were fatalities. The university is shocked and horrified that this would befall our campus. I want to extend my deepest, sincerest and most profound sympathies to the families of these victims which include students There are 22 confirmed deaths.

We currently are in the process of notifying families of victims. The Virginia Tech Police are being assisted by numerous other jurisdictions. Crime scenes are being investigated by the FBI, University Police, and State Police. We continue to work to identify the victims impacted by this tragedy. I cannot begin to covey my own personal sense of loss over this senselessness of such an incomprehensible and heinous act The university will immediately set up counseling centers. So far centers have been identified in Ambler Johnson and the Cook Counseling Center to work with our campus community and families.

Here are some of the facts we know:

At about 7:15 a.m. this morning a 911 call came to the University Police Department concerning an event in West Amber Johnston Hall. There were multiple shooting victims. While in the process of investigating, about two hours later the university received reports of a shooting in Norris Hall. The police immediately responded. Victims have been transported to various hospitals in the immediate area in the region to receive emergency treatment.

We will proceed to contact the families of victims as identities are available.

All classes are cancelled and the university is closed for the remainder for the today. The university will open tomorrow at 8 a.m. but classes will be cancelled on Tuesday. The police are currently staging the release of people from campus buildings.

Families wishing to reunite with the students are suggested to meet at the Inn at Virginia Tech. We are making plans for a convocation tomorrow (Tuesday) at noon at Cassell Coliseum for the university community to come together to begin to deal with the tragedy.

Can't wait to find out the backstory on this one.

Reports say the campus is now secured.

How many lives could have been saved?

The sooner people realize that criminals and psychopaths don't generally abid by the letter of the law, or, in this case, "school policy", the safer we'll all be.

This whole situation boggles my mind. Why wasn't classes cancelled after the first shooting when they were unable to locate the shooter. Why didn't police didn't act immediately until the second shooting. Like WTF 2 shootings by the same person 2 hours apart across campus is just

[JAYMEZ]

Jesus christ , thats freakin horrible.

30 and still climbing. Fox news has pictures of them hauling bodies out of the school, not very tasteful so I am not going to link them.

What do you mean why does all the fucked up shit happen down there? Ever hear of Taber? Montreal last year had a school shooting as well, 19 injured.

When that many people get killed it's likely random killings, absolutely senseless, I don't understand it. WTF is wrong with people.
