Virginia Tech Shooting

A lot of asians were mass murderers during WW2 ...along with whites etc =P.

I'd heard what happened was that the guy basically walked into a Dorm, executed his Ex-G/F and another guy (presumably her new B/F). He then shot up the classroom 2 hours later. The Dorm and classroom were halfway across the campus (very large place), the reason the campus was not on lockdown was because it had been classified as a 'Domestic Dispute', they had no idea the guy would go shoot up a classroom randomly.

Granted, shooting is a bit more than a typical 'domestic dispute', the lockdown would have reacted entirely too slowly to capture the guy, nor would logic dictate an entire campus lockdown with the information they had at hand.

Excatly what happened.

Well, Abby was the one telling me, so I left it somewhat vague as it's hearsay evidence, technically.

I'm thinking this is the school that had less than 1,000 students. It couldn't have been THAT huge.

VA Tech is massive. It's a full-fledged, highly respected university, the largest in western Virginia.

25,000+ students with a 16:1 Student to Faculty ratio. That's a huge school.

Let me quote that page for the lazy:

Ah k, someone told me it had 980 students or so. I'm going to a school about that size here soon.

That's what is presumably being reported, but we can't be sure. I also heard yesterday that he was lining up people along the wall, asking where his girlfriend was, then shooting them execution style. Obviously, if what is being reported today is true, then that doesn't make sense.

Point being, it's all speculation for now, and could change tomorrow. We need more witness stories and accounts being told before we know the full truth.

I bet his WoW account got stolen .
