Shooting at Va Tech

[DISNEYDUET]

My heart go's out to everyone. I went to VA Tech. This is such a tragic event that will forever change the face of the university I know and love.

There are at least 4 children in surgery now that they have no idea of identities. They were rushed in with no id's. The families who can't contact their children must be beyond hysterical.

Local just said Katie Couric had arrived and was to report the news tonight from campus.

I agree. It hurts to think about. A lot of young people will ever have some of the best times of their lives permanently damaged with this tragedy.

My DS just called me now. He is a Junior at a Catholic college here in the Northeast. It has just been announced that there will be a Prayer Service/Vigil tonight for all students on campus @7pm in Rememberance of all those lost in today's shooting at V Tech.

DS said EVERYONE all over campus said they will be attending.

This is such a sad sad day.

This is all so awful. I hope everyone still waiting to hear from family/friends gets good news soon.

Upto 32 now. My aunt is still not able to contact my cousin. I am getting worried now!!

Hopefully you will hear from them very soon! The cell lines are terribly tied up right now. Will pray that is the reason...

His cell is ringing. No1 is picking up and it goes to voicemail!! He is on campus as m aunt spoke to him today morning. She is hysterical and I am nearly there too!! She is caling him and then calling me alternately. I am freaking out!!! Still trying to make some sense out of this. They say its an Asian student freaked out about his girlfriend. WHY KILL OTHERS?????? OVER A RELATIONSHIP!!!!!!!

Upto 32 now. My aunt is still not able to contact my cousin. I am getting worried now!!

Has she tried to contact the VA State Police, the FBI or the VT police? Those are the law enforcement agencies who are working on the case and notifying families.

Does anyone have a list of the hospitals where victims are being sent? PM Green Tea and see if she knows.

I checked the school's newspaper, and their website is down. There are some articles, but there was no way to contact them.

 

[mitushib]

She has called a few friends who stay nearby!! They are calling around. The authorities are not saying much and telling them to call VT office. The VT office say they do not have any info on any specific students which they can give our and are telling them to be patient. I am feeling so helpless!!!!

How about calling the local media? They may be able to find the name of the person who knows.

Frankly my aunt is assuming he is safe and to call local media/police/FBI or any1 with authority to her means somehting is wrong!!! Don't try to find any logic in this. My uncle is already in Delaware driving down to Virginia. I just want this to be a case where he lost/forgot his cell. I am just so worried and basically staring at a computer screen to be doing something else!!!
