Horrible Tragedy in Blacksburg, VA (VA Tech)

[Logan]

I have heard that as many as 32 are dead as a result of a shooting at VA Tech. How horrible.

[Karen]

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!

I hope Ceph is okay!


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!

Crime Alert
04/17/2007

On April 17, 2007 at approximately 11:25 AM, a staff member at the RIT Inn & Conference Center (right off NTID campus) reportedly heard a suspicious sound coming from inside a student’s room. The alert staff member contacted RIT Public Safety.

RIT Public Safety and the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office responded to the room, where a student admitted possessing two unloaded illegal firearms that he said he had just assembled. No live ammunition was found in the guns, however the Sheriff’s Office found ammunition inside the student’s parked vehicle. The student was suspended from the university and the Sheriff’s Office investigation continues.

ceph, this even hadn't happened on our campus (yet) and I already can feel the shock. and you are mending very well. ((hugs))

thank you cate again for your words and pictures.

Moved to tears again - especially by the way people pull together to comfort each other

Even here in China many of my students are asking about how this could happen and they are very sad for the people at V Tech. This is a Technical University too and they feel very deeply for you ,Ceph and all your school mates and teachers. They asked me to let you know they are thinking of you all and hope your heartache will mend. Best loving thoughts from the teachers and students at Guangdong Institute of Science and Technology in Zhuhai, China

Thank you so much, Ceph. I am again so sorry for everyone involved, this is so sad. RIP Matt LePorte.

It is incredible to have such a strong voice as Cate's to speak loud, clear and proud on behalf of Virginia Tech. I am so glad that the school is pulling together the way they are, it is a nice contrast to the madness of one ill boy.

Thank you for writing and sharing, Cate.
