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.

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?

secret to anyone who ever watchs news on TV.

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.
