as much as i hate vt's football program this is an unimaginable nightmare... prayers go out to the victims and their families :( a student being interviewed on i believe fox news had stated that he was a floor above the first shooting and still was trying to get out and go to class when he heard the other shootings in the engineering building.. what was this kid thinking??

Does anyone know what kind of weapons the Va. Tech campus police had available, with which to protect and defend?

i just had this argument with a coworker - why is ESPN covering this?

#1 - we dont know that this is involves anyone related to VaTech athletics
#2 - ESPN is not a credible news source

I saw some footage and it looked like they dipped into the heavy-duty arsenal cabinet.

This is horrible. As far as joking goes, there is absolutely nothing humorous about this.

I'm not sure what Campus police carry, but the shooter was using 9mm pistols, not your standard "assault" weapon.

An interesting question. If these shootings had occurred at a place like Eastern Mennonite University, I doubt ESPN would bother.

Early rumors from Drudge:

SKY NEWS: Witnesses said he was heavily armed and entered the college looking for his girlfriend... He reportedly lined up students and opened fire at them. He was said to be an Asian, in his mid-20s...

"From what I heard, he chained up some of the doors so people couldn't get in and he basically was just going to every classroom trying to get in, and just started shooting inside classrooms," Jenkins said.
One of his friends was in a Norris classroom targeted by the gunman, Jenkins said.
"He was very fortunate," Jenkins said. "He said every single person in the room was shot, killed and was in the ground. He laid on the ground with everyone … he played dead and he was OK."

The shooter was "wearing a vest covered in clips was just unloading on their door, going from classroom to classroom … they said it never seemed like it was going to stop and there was just blood all over," Harrison said.
