:( Oh this is just so horrible.. So glad Ceph is ok.. I still am at witts end on Why Why do people do stuff like this.. Why Could This SOB take his own life before he took anyone elses.. No One No One Has The Right To Take AnyOne's Life.. These people had familys & their lives to live.. I am sorry I am just upset with all of this.. Please Let Us All Pray for the Lives Lost & for their Familys.. Lets Pray for the Lives Left to be able to come out of this trauma..
This is indeed horrible. It is absolutely senseless. Fox News is saying 32 dead, and I believe around 29 wounded with at least 2 in critical condition.
What I don't understand is that they didn't send an email out to students until 2 hours after the first shooting. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved.
Yes, Ceph just asks that everyone pray for those who were killed and injured. I will add and their friends and families as well.
All those poor people, this sicko has hurt hundreds of people, those that lived will be traumatized for life. I have no pity for that person at all.
Yes, I was in line at the Post Office when I heard people talking about this. I still haven't had a chance to turn the news on yet (will do so now). One of my co-workers took off a few days last week to visit three colleges in Virginia with her son. :( And that was the first thing I thought of. Can you even imagine sending your child off to college and getting a call like this. I am almost in tears now. Prayers for the family and friends of those killed, and for the recovery of those that were injured. :(
I have a friend whose only child attends there. I am so sickened by the whole thing. Horrible, disgusting, and I wish I could say unthinkable...
When will we as a nation figure out that handguns are usefully only for killing people????
This was a tragic, pointless event. Can we please leave the politics out of it until at LEAST after the school has figured out what happened?

This is a terrible tragedy & I pray for all the students and their families.
Those kids weren't killed with politics (directly at least!)...they appear to have been shot with two handguns....
So, so, so sad.....and senseless...
Such a senseless tragedy indeed. I've been watching it on CNN and the video they showed where you actually here to the gunshots, just sent chills down my spine.
Prayers being sent out to all the familys.
What a tragedy, I heard about this this afternoon and have now just seen the news report. You are right, rg_girlca, that footage with the gunshots is blood-curdling stuff. I'm relieved that Ceph was unharmed but my thoughts are with her and all those who have been affected by this unspeakable and senseless act of violence. :(
Jen, I was just watching KDKA news and they said one of the wounded girls is from Pittsburgh. My prayers are that Ceph is unharmed and safe through this ordeal.Quote:

Such a horrible horrible thing to happen. My heart goes out to all those who were lost, as well as their families. :(
Karen has heard from Ceph and she is ok but in shock, from Karens post I think Ceph will be posting after she settles down a bit.
It is absolutely horrific and senseless and deeply saddening. What I fail to comprehend (as another poster already said) is how the university thought sending out e-mails two hours after the initial murders would be of any help. Reports say the two incidents are not connected, but does that make the murders any less significant because it was 2 people and not 30-something? How sad :(
