    What a terrible, horrible incident.
    I'm trying not to get too political, but I do think that VT should have made an attempt to lock down the campus when they knew there was still a guy on the loose.

    I don't know if it would have saved anymore lives, but if I was a student there and knew there was guy with a gun on the loose, I wouldn't have gone to classes. And then maybe I wouldn't have gotten shot.

    They thought the shooter was gone.
    Not making excuses, just saying what they said.

    Planet Blacksburg identified one of the first people killed at 7:15 a.m. as Ryan Clark...
    Clark is listed on Myspace as gay and in the Marching Virginians...http://searchresults.myspace.com/index.cfm?Mytoken=1E6BAE68-C99D-498B-B6D8977F3B07590153146152&fuseaction=find&circuitaction=search&searchType=ALL&f_first_name=Ryan&f_display_name=&f_Last_name=Clark&InterestType=&f_email=&f_search_criteria=Ryan+Clark&page=0&Country=US&distance=10&Postal=24061&first=No
    I wasn't sure it was the same person until I did a google search and found that this kid has him posted on his blog as his friend that he'll miss deeply.... http://www.andrewmager.com/
    I have no evidence, but on the CBS evening news tonight they said the first killings, Clark and a female in the Amber Johnston Hall, was related to a domestic issue. They also said an ex-girlfriend wasn't involved in the shooting.
    Not to be presumptive, but I wouldn't be surprised if this had something to do with someone's homosexuality
    The whole thing is ugly....

    God love the college reporter, but he's asking the worst questions at this P.C. His young voice makes him stand out and not in a good way.

    Did anyone see a commercial saying Dateline would be doing a Special Report tonight on the shootings? I heard it as I was walking out of the room, but don't know for sure if it's tonight and is it gonna be NBC or MSNBC?

    That picture with him standing next to the guns is creepy, even if he's not the shooter.

    That's his girlfriend, the one who's break-up with him might have "triggered" the whole incident.

    Where did you learn that's allegedly the murderer's site?
