Horrible Tragedy in Blacksburg, VA (VA Tech)

[Pam]

Ceph, thank you for sharing. Through you we can begin to feel the depth of the loss. I believe Matthew LePorte was from New Jersey. I heard this morning that another NJ student (from Mullica Hill, not far from me) is in critical condition after being shot in the face. We need to keep those survivors in prayer as well. They have, in many cases, a long road ahead of them both physically and emotionally.

My husband and I were just saying this morning that some of the media coverage is just awful. I won't mention any names of the people on these programs, but some of the questions that are being asked of the families like "how do you feel?" "what do you remember most about your loved one?" just seem so shallow. I wish they would let these people have some privacy.

I learned today that another wounded student is from the Pittsburgh area. He is the one that was shot in the right leg and saved himself by making a makeshift tourniquet out of an electrical cord. There were pictures of him being carried out by paramedics. He was a former eagle scout.
