Man....

Gunman reported at Virginia Tech – This Just In - CNN.com Blogs (http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/08/04/gunman-reported-at-virginia-tech/?hpt=hp_t2)

Saying now the alert may be over.

Can't find anyone matching the description

Good. I hope it was nothing huge. The last shooting they had hit home really hard. A good amount of my friends and some family were attending VT. Shook the foundations of the DC area.

Mixed reports on whether this alert is actually over

Yeah same here. I hope it's nothing serious, although if it is I do have to question why a man would be walking around with a gun at VT of all places.

Well they say they can't find anyone that matches the description, but the lockdown and the alert supposedly are still on.

I suppose were it anywhere else but Va Tech the alert probably would have been lifted at this point

Yeah someone might need some sensitivity training. Also i THINK that you can open and conceal carry on all va public college campuses, not sure if youre allowed to bring inside though.

my neice and a bunch of kids i have know all their lives go up there.
