    112 :BC-USA-CRIME/SHOOTING-TOLL At least 20 killed in Virginia Tech shooting-official
    WASHINGTON, April 16 (Reuters) - At least 20 people, including the suspected gunman, were killed in a shooting rampage at Virginia Tech university on Monday, police and university officials said.
    It was one of the worst shootings on a university campus in the United States since Charles Whitman went to top of the tower in the middle of the University of Texas campus in Austin, Texas, on Aug. 1, 1966, and opened fire on people 27 stories below. He killed 15 people, including his mother and wife the night before, and wounded 31 others.

    WTF?!?!?!?!

    I know this isn't PC, but if they know they'll be taken down by the police anyways, why don't they just shoot themselves and spare all the innocents?

    "They had us under lockdown," Kanode said. "They temporarily lifted the lockdown, the gunman shot again."

    This is horrific.

    Too many casualties to be random.

    Wow. 22 people. That is so horrible. I called my sister-in-law. She is locked down in a building nearby and wasn't aware of how severe it was. I'm really glad she is ok.

    ++++vibes to the whole town and all the families effected

    And fuck the assholes responsible.

    What would cause somebody to do this. I mean in college too...there are so many outlets for frustration and anger in college I can't fathom this happening at a college. I'm shocked at this....

    Norris is Mining and Minerals Engineering and Engineering Science and Mechanics

    Edit: They also have classes for other engineering disciplines there, but those are the main ones. I've had a couple classes in there and I am an Aerospace/Ocean Engineering major, so its hard to say what class it was.

    Horrible. I talked to my bro who is at Radford (10min. away). It's always scary when this shit goes down close to your loved ones. It is soo hard to even imagine how any human being can become so completely broken.

    sonofabitch...22 kids starting another Monday cramming on homework, trying to figure how how to ask that girl in class out, finalizing summer job plans...and some random fuck ends it all. Just not right...not right at all.
    Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
    And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
    It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
    and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

    So it was the same gunman from the first shooting that did the second? I wonder how far apart the shootings were...
