    MSNBC's analyst says that this is the most deadly shooting incident on a college campus in history.

    First shooting 7:15 a.m. at Norris Hall. Second shooting at 9:15 a.m. Ambler Johnson Hall. Two hours apart. WHY wasn't the campus closed after the first incident?

    This is horrific. CNN has 22 confirmed dead. I immediately thought of the UNC shootings in 1994.

    What is this about? Is there any motive being given (not that there could be any reasonable motive, of course)? Insanity.

    Again, why wasn't the school locked down after the first incident? Somebody fucked up royally.

    Sounds like an epic administrative failure as well.

    Looks like they lifted the lockdown after the first shooting way too prematurely.

    BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) - A gunman opened fire in a dorm and classroom at Virginia Tech on Monday, killing 21 people and wounding another 21 before he was killed, police said.

    "Today the university was struck with a tragedy that we consider of monumental proportions," said university president Charles Steger.

    The university reported shootings at opposite sides of the 2,600-acre campus, beginning at about 7:15 a.m. at West Ambler Johnston, a co-ed residence hall that houses 895 people, and continuing about two hours later at Norris Hall, an engineering building.
