Tragic
The gunman reportedly chained doors closed to prevent escape.  I was notified late by one of my workers who is a VT grad.  I have not looked up from work all day...i need to change that.

22 were probably killed immediately, and the numbers climbed as more wounded passed away. That many gunshot victims just has to be an overwhelming amount for a hospital to deal with at one time. Im sure this incident has left Feinstein and Pelosi salivating.

The stupid act of one will provide more fuel to the Anti Gun politicians.

The unjried were being farmed out to mutliple hospitals.  Most hospitals, that I know of, have a degree of training for handling stuff like this.

On the outside Pelosi is sad but inside she is no doubt jumping for joy at a golden "opportunity" to say I told you.  I have been watching it on an Iraqi TV that has no sound.  Very irritating.  I saw the first report of 1 dead 7-8 wounded but last I saw it was 32 dead.  Anyone know what type of guns were used?

The news was reporting that 1-2 9mm pistols w/ extra mags were used....don't know it to be gospel..just what was reported earlier.

At least we won't be seeing in NC any new gun control because of this.

The bill filing deadline is upon us.

I was listening to a news report that had a Brady gun grabber spokesman that said Virginia doesn't even have a ban on assault Weapons or hi-cap mags....

My prayers go out to the family and friends but why is the flag not at half staff daily with the number of young people who are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan daily? Are their deaths no less tragic?

Not to sound cold, but it is expected for military members to die when deployed to a combat theater. The VT incident is something way out of the norm hence the flags you see at half-mast.

CNN is really laying it on thick on their website, doing interactive shorts on the guns themselves, some traitor gun shop owner telling the eager reporter everything he wants to hear, etc. They even showed a clip of DMX from Get Rich or Die Tryin, and claimed the 9mm to be the most frequently used gun in a crime. blah.

Wrong thug. It was 50 cent aka: 2 quarters, 5 dimes, 10 nickels, or 50 pennies.

Its tragic what happeens when your not allowed to carry,  CCW permit holders who attend college cannot carry on campus.
This ass might have been stopped the first couple of shots.
Why this guy didn't take the first shot to himself is a real mystery?
Its a real shame and my prayers go out to all the families whos lives are forever changed. This goes a long way to help anti gun politicians.

So very sad.

I have to wonder though, if he had went and bought a car, then did a  60 MPH run through a crowd on campus killing 30+ would there be discussions on banning cars, the ownership of cars at a school, or the ability to buy a car in a few minutes without serious background checks?  How about if he had used a bow and arrow? Homemade IED?

Isn't the REAL tragedy the fact that even with multiple reports to various people in positions of authority referencing his mental state and obsessions with murder/suicide along with sexual deviance that NOTHING of any real value was done? Why isn't the public outrage aimed at finding out how the system failed to help or at least contain a person that has displayed these tendencies instead of trying to get rid of the tools that he chose to complete his goal?

Sorry for the ramblings, just another person with questions I guess.

Happened a little more than one year ago in Chapel Hill.  I have not heard any follow up on this.
