:(
They keep revising the number, maybe 21 dead, ten injured ... I have emailed Ceph, the Pet Talk member who attends Virginia Tech, and I'll let you all know if and when she responds.
Prayers that she is unhurt and unharmed....how awful for all involved!
OH NO!! :eek:Quote:

From what my mom told me, the sicko was looking for his girlfriend. He shot 31 people and injured 29. This is so sick, I feel terrible the students families. Barley any details yet, on this case.
I hope the sicko rots in hell! :mad:
CNN reporting 31 dead now. :( I hope Ceph is okay too. I feel so bad for everybody up there and their families. How tragic :(
How horrible. I hope the PTer is okay. Please keep us posted.
I feel so sick over this. I just read the article online. I am praying for everyone at VA Tech and their families. I hope we can hear from Ceph soon and all is well.
Fox News is reporting 32 dead. :( I had forgotten that Ceph was there. I prayer for all of them, too.

I have heard from Ceph. She is okay, but in shock, and needs time to think before she posts anything.
SO happy to hear Ceph is okay.
Prayers to the families of the dead and injured. :( So sad. :(
Thank god Ceph is okay! :D I can understand her shock though, she is probably very upset, as most of the people there are. :(
Glad to hear Ceph is ok. I am certain she is in shock , what an awful thing to deal with!
Prayers for all those touched by this horror.
It really is sad!! So many young people die for no reason!! :( :(
I'm glad to hear that Ceph is OK. :)
My thoughts go out to the families and friends of the victims.
:( 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 :(
Thank you, Cate, for sharing with us. Thank you for letting us know how you are feeling. Thank you for defending your school and community against the onslaught of second-guessers and commentators. You, and your whole community will be in our prayers throughout the coming days. Sending you a hug, store it for when you need one if it isn't welcome right now.
Thank you Cate. It means alot to me that you took your time to sit down and write about your experience. You and everyone else in this tragedy will remain in my heart and mind. What a terrible day in the life of that school and this nation. {{{{{HUGS}}}}} :(
Cate, you and all the students affected are in my p rayers along with the families & victims of this tragedy. It's just unthinkable.
Thank God you are alright Cate. How courageous of you to sit down and write your thoughts.
I was just talking to someone this evening about the media and how hard they tried to dig out the negative and blame the University.
You have my prayers.......prayers that you can go on.......find some peace for yourself.
And so many many others to pray for........what do you say? Their losses are huge - the families that have lost beautiful young men and women in the prime of their life.
May God have mercy on us all.
you and everybody else involving are in my thoughts. :(
remember to take care of (((cate))) too.
Hi Cate,
So Sorry to hear that you have been so close to this terrible event.
We are all so glad that you are safe and sound.

i've been thinking about this since yesterday.. I feel such a deep sorrow. I will never understand why a person would feel like that would be an answer to any problem.. The world is such a sad place and i thank God for wonderful people.. like the people here at Pet Talk who have love and caring in their heart...
