My daughter is very upset. Her good friend Billy (they used to date) is the resident advisor at Ambler Johnson Hall, where one of the killings was. They did arrest someone, but no news and Han can't get in touch with Billy.

Han's friend Samantha who goes there couldn't call out, but checked in and said she's safe via myspace. You might try that if you cant get thru and if he has a myspace page.

My nephew is ok.
The dorm where some of the shootings happened is right next door to his.
Norris Hall is across the field.
His RA was in class in Norris Hall when it went down. Shots were fired right outside his classroom. He jumped out the window and ran across to the dorm.
His roommate is currently locked in Norris Hall. A cop took his entire class upstairs (not outside) as they are not sure how many shooters there are or if they caught the guy. He is still locked in a room in Norris Hall with a shotgun-armed officer with them.
The number going around the campus is about 20 shot, which differs from the 7-8 on the news.

News is updating now... 17 injured + 1 dead.
Sounds like the shooter has a pretty weak weapon, thankfully.
His RA jumped out a 2nd-story window. Some of the injuries were a result of others jumping, he says.

Billy's page shows he is online and so is Hannah. They just said on Headline News that the shooter is dead. Waiting to hear from Han or Billy.
edit: Hannah is not there, but she'll update me on her friends who are.

His roommate and 4-5 others are back now. He clarified that his roommate was not in Norris.
Sounds like all but one of the deaths happened in Norris.
Norris is an upperclassman engineering building... so it is likely that most of the victims will be juniors or seniors.
He has been texting his upperclassman buddies, but no replies yet.
His RA that escaped Norris said it sounds like a fucking warzone, which is why they opted to jump out the window.

He is not sure how long the campus will be closed.
Just passed him the invite to drive out here with 1 or 2 of his friends for a week of golfing. It would be nice to see him before his normal summer golf trip.

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

If billy is in shock, billy's not okay.
This is an example of the further-reaching effects when nutjobs get their hands on guns. There will be literally thousands of people whose lives will be forever changed by this whack job.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Jen.

such a terrible loss, lots of young people with a whole life ahead of them and now gone....
They said it was an asian guy (young also, probably another student).
My prayers goes to the families of the victims.

I wanted to see something about VA Tech so I went to youtube and found this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1vMnsNzc5Y
I haven't been able to stop crying.
Is there so little respect for life anymore? One moment these were thriving kids... and now forevermore scarred if not dead.
This world.... it's so hard to take anymore... so much suffering. So much pain. I'm trying so hard to see any good in this... I can't.
