At Least 20 Killed in Virginia Tech Shooting - washingtonpost.com (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/16/AR2007041600533.html?hpid=topnews)

The fact that the two shooting happened so far apart is pretty troubling.
Also, I was just reading that there have been a bunch of bomb threats for different buildings around campus lately.
This is pretty scary.

I'm confused about something. Was one gunman taken into custody and another killed (either by the cops or himself)?

I assume firearms are not allowed on campus.

Sooner or later this country will to have to rethink that policy.

Agreed. But some will likely twist this incident into a basis for loosening gun laws (i.e., "If all the students were packing, then we'd be fine").

im fine thanks man. i actually had a class in a building very close to the shootings at 10 am. hundreds of cops. i was asking if they were evacuating cuz we didnt know what was going on, and they said no (student said this) so i went to go in, and i was ordered to go back to the sidewalk. me and a bunch of others had to go into torgersen hall which is an academic building right across the street for over 2 hrs. 20 ambulances at least, id say about 300 cops at least. it was madness, im thankful to be alive. i had a class in the building where most died tomorrow.

Well, that's sorta the point I was making.

Anytime something like this happens you always hear the question being asked -- what if just one person had access to a firearm to defend him or herself?

I think it's a legitimate question.
