O/T: Another tragedy has stricken Virginia Tech
Some of you may recall hearing about a massacre at Virginia Tech back in 2007. 32 were killed & 25 others wounded. I'm not sure what it is about that area, but there have been several other shootings there since.
My FB has been bombarded with updates from our local news channels regarding more this morning/afternoon.
At this point 2 are reported dead & the suspect has not been caught.
Schools are on lockdown in 2 counties, so parents do not have contact with their kids who should be getting off the buses now.
Please, if you pray, pray for the families of those murdered, & for the safety of those trapped in buildings on campus & wherever else this man may be.

I know a friend of mine works there and has been posting on FB scared out of her mind. She actually saw the police with guns drawn run by her office. i can't even imagine! According to her and her fellow employees on campus, the gunman is still at large.

Makes me very thankful for living in the godforsaken place that I do. The weather may suck but the crime is very low. That has GOT to be scary as hell.

I can't imagine what she must be feeling. The news channels have been streaming live with men in bucket trucks looking for him, & they've blocked the ramps from the interstate into the area.
The campus police officer
The campus police officer that was killed was shot making a routine traffic stop. The second one found was found in a nearby campus parking lot. They have not released the identity of the second one found...whether it were a student, teacher, etc.
Given the pictures that have been posted of the SWAT teams inside the buildings, I would certainly hate to be the one they're looking for.
They are now reporting that a
They are now reporting that a weapon was recovered at the location of the second individual & suspect that that person may have been the gunman.
There is another press
There is another press conference to start in about 15 minutes about what they've found. So far they've released the ID of the officer killed. They've confirmed that the officer & the second victim were shot with the same weapon & have pretty much said that the second victim was the shooter, but have hesitated to say it in those words.
