Honestly, things are falling apart. It's snowing in mid April, there is the threat of a Wal*Mart moving in, we get multiple bomb threats a week, last semester there was a cop killer running around and now this:
A gunman is loose on campus. Stay in buildings until further notice. Stay away from all windows
Is Blacksburg really a special place any more? It feels just like Springfield, MA.

Someone went on a shooting spree at Virginia Tech today. The shooting began in West Ambler-Johnston (West AJ, a residence hall) and ended in Norris Hall (an engineering building).
The shooter is suspected to be dead in Norris Hall and there are many deaths. Wow. I knew the pressure on those engineering students was harsh, but not THIS harsh.

Sarah's boyfriend is okay. She was under lockdown, but slipped out a back door because she was freaked. There were bomb threats also in the building she was in about a week ago (Torgerson Hall) All the students from Franklin Heights (my home church) are accounted for. I'm a bit in shock. Emma (my best friend/college roommate) and I have been talking on the phone. I really feel like driving home to VA. A bit irrational, but thats my reaction. How could anyone do that?

so today, at about 9:30 am, i learned that there was a shooting earlier in one of the dorms [ambler johnson].
actually, two ppl shot [one dead, one injured] in the dorm.
i was in class at the time.
after class, as it is my routine, i started walking down to the chemistry/physics building from litton reaves.
i stopped on a street corner close to the drillfield to figure out why there were two parades of police cars entering the campus.
then one of the police officers told us to stay there.
i think he meant go inside where its safe, but he was short on words.
i returned to my room after kathleen forced me to turn around and head away from the academic side of campus.
apparently there was a shooting in one of those buildings [norris].
sounds like the count, on this side of the news, there might have been about 6 ppl injured there.
so with classes canceled, campus closed, and police everywhere...
one of the shooters have been captured.
....more information to be included later, perhaps
ok, quick update.
apparently the total is 22 dead.
this. is. bad.
