April 16, 200719 yr Thought about you when I first read this. Wasn't sure if you still attended there or not. Did you go to VaTech? Graduated Class of 2004. I had many classes in Norris Hall - as did any other engineering student.
April 16, 200719 yr I share an office with someone who has a brother that is an engineering student at VTech. He just got off the phone with him and thankfully he is doing fine. He lives in a dorm that is next to the one where the 1st shooting took place this morning. His brother has class in Norris Hall, but not on Mondays. Talk about a scare!:eek:

April 16, 200719 yr Talk about a scare!:eek: I can't imagine going through this if my son was there. It would be so much worse if I couldn't get hold of him.
April 16, 200719 yr MSNBC interviewed a man who was shot and he said it was an Asian man with a leather jacket on. He didn't say anything and just come in and unloaded a round into the classroom. He says 10-15 people in the room where hit. Although every report I've seen says the shooter is dead, I've seen this and another similar photo. http://www.foxnews.com/photoessay/0,4644,1642,00.html#4_0 Scroll down about halfway to see the photo.
April 16, 200719 yr Very tragic news. MY thoughts and Prayers go out to the victims and their families. May God Bless them in their time of need.
April 16, 200719 yr Author 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. How did he escape the first location and get to the second without being caught?

I saw that also. I think it might just be a guy that fit the profile descried by some who knew what the guy looked like.

He was probably a suspect that was detained because he fit the description -- just my theory.
