Oh.. wow. I just got a phone call 5 minutes ago from my mom while watching television. A guy by the name of Matt La Porte from my home town, a person I knew before high school, is one of the victims of the shooting.
He's been confirmed dead.

It's just one of those things, I suppose.
Latest reports Suggest that they're is the possibility of two shooters. the Main assailant is now believed to be an On-Campus asian student. among the dead are two lecturers in the Engineering faculty.
There have been Bizarre reports of him wearing what appeared to be a Scouts outfit.
Other reports suggest the violent nature of the attack - with a hospital official saying that each victim had at least three bullets shot into their bodies.
This is very, very sad.

Have you ever been to a popular university? In some places, mostly student centers, there is a massive amount of students in one place at one time. I go to a small state school and during peak hours of activity on campus its very crowded in the student union and even in dorm lobbies, and academic halls. Now take a big school like VT that has thousands more students on campus, if you shoot randomly into a crowd the chances are your going to hit someone and cause injury.

I have to agree with you here. I can see video games potentially causing problems with middle school students or even younger high school students, but this kid was in college, unless he was mentally insane (which I doubt greatly) then he knew what he was doing, and also knew the consequences of his actions. Thus the suicide.Originally Posted by Rockefella

Rocke, I am sorry to hear that. Condolences to his family. I was worried when I heard about the shooting because one of my close female friends is studying at an American university/college as an exchange student. She's in Buffalo, New York though.Originally Posted by Rockefella

I want to express my condolences to the families and the friends of the 32 Virginia Tech. students.

Well, this is the guy behind the massacre. Cho Seung-hui, a 23 year old English major from South Korea. It seems he left a note behind in his dorm room explaining some of his reasons, the nature of which has been described as "disturbing". Apparently he had also been referred to counselling after producing "troubled" work in his creative writing class.
It seems any possibility of there being a second gunman or an accomplice has been dismissed. Just one loner with a deeply disturbed mind who flipped out one day and went on a rampage.

I dont know if this has been covered already, but i did notice alot of you arguing about whether guns should be allowed or not
anyways my point was going to be that there are 110 million guns, not including military...just personally owned guns in America
so there is absolutely no way there is ever going to be no guns
I personally believe it's the person that kills...not the gun

That's terrible. I'm very sorry to hear that; my condolences.
There's always been a rivalry between the University of Virginia and Virginia Tech, but it shouldn't be surprising that that's not the case for today. There are a lot of people over here who know people at Tech.

Indeed. Here is part of an email I received from the Dean of students on my campus.
Just what I need more rent-a-cops writing parking tickets at 1:30 in the morning."Today's tragedy impacts all of us in higher education and causes us to
reinforce our commitment to campus safety. I know that each of you are
extraordinarily sensitive to this issue and that you will be taking all
appropriate steps to continually address safety issues and to reassure
your campus community as well as parents and local community members
that our campuses are safe and secure.
As the tragedy at Virginia Tech is reviewed, we will also be reviewing
University safety policies to ensure that we continually improve safety
and security."

I know you guys don"t like pictures but this is the shooter of all that were killed
My condolences to all the families of the victims and the people involved. I just hope everyone here is well and accounted for.
It sucks to hear that.
Quoted you both to show I agree as to what is the core of the problem.
When it comes to the gun control debate there are a few things we need to keep in mind. I'm willing to bet that in well over 90% of the killings with a gun the assailant wouldn't have been capable to do it with another weapon or by hand.
Home owner vs burglar - it's a fact that the guns in the houses have been misused many times more than they were used in the way they were "intended". A gun in a house is many times more likely to go of on a family member than a criminal.
Why sudden legislation changes hasn't given the results that were intended; in a small state like DC one is always relatively close to a relatively unguarded state border and within the largest gun manufacturer on the globe. For that reason there will always be more guns in a state in the US than in a country of the same size in Europe for instance.
In the hands of the criminals the guns also travel across to neighboring countries, like Mexico - hence the availability of guns there. With the rate the US is manufacturing weapons there will be no shortage of guns in the Americas in the near future.
Here in Finland guns are quite rare (on a global comparison), guns are mostly found among hunters, organized criminals and (relatively few) war/gun "enthusiasts". Random people/criminals don't usually carry guns here and most gun deaths here are caused by legally owned guns in combined with alcohol.

On-topic pictures are more than appreciated.

Apparently he left a note, and i notived it used words only written in scripture, so it was most likely religiously motivated...
