yeah u wake up and its seems like any other day. then u get to class through snow and blustery wind and hear from a classmate that her dorm has cops surrounding it and that they were telling them not to leave the dorm and those who did leave, had to give their name and then they were allowed to leave but told they cant go back in then. During that class we saw on the tech website that a shooting had occurred in west ambler johnston and that police and such is on the scene. as we left class we headed toward the drillfield and me to my next class but before i got even close a older man approached a guy from my class and told him to turn back and not go that way because not only had there been another shooting but not in west ambler again but across campus by burruss and mcbryde where i had my next class, and that the shooter was on the loose. so i hurried and watched around me back to the dorm taking the long way around to my dorm, hearing police telling ppl to get to their dorms and stay inside. when i got back in, i immediately woke up my roommate and told her what i had heard and seen and we checked our email and turned on the news. we had followed it from then, learning he had crossed campus and went to Norris hall and started shooting in there and ppl were jumping out of windows to get away and bunch of ppl got injured and one dead that we know of. as we listened to the news one of our friends here on campus got interviewed on Fox News channel a few times over the episode. we are now aware that the shooter is dead and that he had shot at least 22 ppl and that 21 at least injured. We are going down in history now as the most heinous crime on a campus now we beat out Charles Whitman who at the university of texas, pulled a sniper crime on his fellow students in 1966. With two shooting incidents today and one the last semester this is a insane freshman year here as a student at Virginia Tech.

Please take care..

.. of yourself and your friends.

A mom in Maryland thinking of you all

Re: Please take care..

thanx the campus and everyone im sure thanks u.
I'm a stray from NJ wishing you all the best.

thanx i appreciate it, this campus has had quite a shock and all the good wishes it receives are helpful in restoring our frame of mind that this world is truly a good place with good ppl and not just ppl who seek to harm for no apparent reason.
When I first heard there was 22 dead at Tech I was worried.
But then I stopped and thought about it.
There was a very small chance you were one of them, and it was better not to jump to conclusions and over-react.
So, I decided to just wait and see what happened when I called you.

Anyway...
I'm extremely glad your alright.
I don't know what it would be like without having you around in my life.
And I don't ever want to find out.
I love you. <3
Hi,

I just surfed on from a VA Tech search. Just wanted you to know that the country is all aware of you and everyone on campus. Our prayers are with you.
I appreciate that and i know others here on campus do as well some of us have been affected way more than others and being lucky myself to not be stricken like some of my friends here with them knowing victims i feel lucky but still saddened by the event and there is still a scare that there may be more than one guy or that they were two separate attacks so until it is definitely found out, i know me as well as my other fellow students will remain on edge and the parents as well. Thanx for ur thoughts.

Re: all my love

thank you we appreciate all the thoughts and prayers sent to us.
hello there. just wanted to send some love from Connecticut. I can't imagine the horror of it all, i felt so numb just watching the news from afar it must be hell to be there. I just want you to know that we are all thinking about you. We had a silence and a vigil last night at my college, Central Connecticut State University. We cheered your school cheers not our ccsu blue devils cheers last night. I hope it is some comfort to you all. My love and prayers go out to you, your friends and your fellow students and faculty.
thank you your thoughts are much appreciated.
