At least 33 dead in rampage on Virginia campus

Quote
Thirty-three people, including the gunman, were killed at a Virginia university Monday in the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. At least 15 other people were injured, some of them as they leaped to safety from the fourth floor of a classroom building.

The shootings, which took place in two locations on campus, came just four days before the eighth anniversary of the Columbine High School bloodbath near Littleton, Colo. They created panic and confusion at the college, where students and employees angrily asked why the first e-mail warning did not go out to them until the gunman had struck a second time.

How horrible! Digging for answers, all I can find are rumors about this being initiated by a domestic dispute - he went to the dorm, killed his girlfriend and one other, ran away and struck again, shooting people in classrooms two hours later... 29 others were taken to four area hospitals for injuries.

I am so saddened by this!! I've been watching this all day. He had two hours to think to himself, this is wrong, I should not be doing this and then he went off and killed 30 more people! Sad

I'm really touched by the individual stories like the professor who had survived the Holocaust, moved to the US, taught and cared enough for his students to save their lives. He heard the gun shots getting closer and held the door closed while his students got out through the windows. Unfortunately, he was shot through the door and killed. Then there were the students who baracaded the door with a table and saved everyone in the classroom. The gunman shot through the door, missed, couldn't break in and moved on...... I just wish there was someone there to stop him. As much as I dislike guns myself, I can't help but think that many more lives would have been saved Sad

I heard that they now think she wasnt his g/f at all. Maybe he stalked her at some point.
