Virginia Tech

I guessing everyone here has heard about the tragic story at Virginia Tech on Monday by now. One of my friends, Matthew Gwaltney, was one of the victims.

A total of 33 people, including the son of a bitch(sorry for language), were shot and killed in two shootings two hours apart within two separate buildings on the Virginia Tech campus, making it the deadliest mass shooting by a civilian in U.S. history. At least two dozen other people were injured.
Seung-hui Cho, identified by authorities as the gunman, was born in South Korea and grew up in Virginia. He had permanent residence status and was a fourth-year English major at Virginia Tech. At the conclusion of the second attack, he committed suicide.

There are just no words that can describe this tragedy. I'm sorry for your loss bro. I'll send up a prayer for you.

I am also very sorry for your loss, it is really a sad circumstance. Don't worry about the words to describe that piece of shit. While I am sad that he didn't get the help that he obviously needed, I can think of no excuse for a person to do anything like that. Again it is just a sad situation. My prayers go out to you and the family of your friend, along with all of the other family and friends of the victims.

I am very sorry for your loss. I went to Florida State University and still live in Tallahassee. I have many friends and family who still attend class. Virginia Tech’s baseball team was just in town over the weekend for a series. We are all in shock here. There is a general feeling around town that this could have easily happened here. Virginia Tech and Florida State are both in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

I know the FSU administration is being proactive. They started asking students for cell phone numbers and other contact information to be able to quickly broadcast information in the even of an emergency. They also activated a school wide PA system. It's pretty amazing how quickly they have organized everything.

Sorry to hear that. It is insane and selfish. I can't even begin to comprehend the amount of pain the VT community is going through.

Prayers for all those involved and for your friend.
