Updated:At Least 33 Dead in Va. Tech Shooting

They were reporting on WSLS Channel 10 news out of Roanoke, Virginia that one of the 22 that was killed was the shooter himself. If you go on CNN.com, you can actually watch the cell phone video of the cops firing their guns at what we assume is the shooter.

I find it hard to believe that he got off that many rounds without someone taking him down.

This is so tragic.

I just talked to my engineering buddy and he's very shaken up, he didn't really say much, just that he was okay and he'd talk to me later.

I'm wondering whether or not he was in the building. This shit is insane.

Glad to see that you're ok Big C. This is effing crazy. I used to go down to Blacksburg all the time (most of my friends graduated in 2000).......and besides VA Tech, theres nothing else in that town. That place will never be the same after this.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all VA tech students who were injured and/or killed.

I don't understand why so many. Why did he feel the need to kill SOOO many?????!?!??!

It just sucks, not really sure what you can do, unless you want to post an armed guard outside of every high school and college classroom in the country (which would cost way too much money).


And who's to say they won't lose it and go postal?

ABC news is reporting 29 now confirmed dead

The mental health of this person is the big issue, and the US is terrible about getting people help. The laws SUCK and they let people walk every day that should be in a hospita getting the help they need. A sick person cannot know when he's ok to go home!!

This is probably true, Hessy. But ultimately everyone has to be responsible for his or her own mental condition, not the government.

Number has risen to 32 confirmed dead

Number has risen to 32 confirmed dead

Oh my word. They are still just reporting at least 22 on local news here. How can one man take out that many people? And...is that not counting the ones who are just injured at the hospital?

Where are you guys reading this info? I've pretty much only been on CNN, yahoo and the washington post's website.
