While most everyone has already heard today about these shootings at the VA Tech campus I can only sit here in amazement at how pathetically low a person must go in terms of mental state to be able to inflict such horror on so many innocent people.
With the bodies count at least 33 at 11:03pm ET the day of the incident; details are sketchy at the least. From all that I can gather from all different sources of online media the following details are quite questionable-
The gun-man was an Asian (No word on his name of if he was a student)
The 4 people who survived the classroom states that the gun-man was casing the room and had peeped in several times during class looking for someone just before the shootings.
The same 4 people claim that the gun-man left the room, and shots could be heard elsewhere. At this time they barricaded the door and the gun-man actually come back to finish them off shooting multiple rounds into the door in an unsuccessful attempt to re-enter.
The gun-man killed himself
While this horrifying story is enough to make anyone sick it is sure to receive much attention over the course of the next month. Questions I have are
Was the gun-man a student? Who was the gun-man after? Was the gun-man Asian an American born native?
I have many other questions as well. I am sure this entire story will be well documented. Its most unfortunate and my deepest sympathies go out to the ones whom have suffered loss. When things like this happen you want to know WHY. Hopefully the details will follow and the gun-man will rot in hell. What could have any of these people done to this person that would justify taking human life so recklessly?
