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.

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.

Re: Virginia Tech on Lockdown

From what I heard an actual gun was not seen. Its probably a well justified over reaction or so I hope. If I'm correct today is a big day for students to move in apartments. I have several customers who rent apartments for their kids and many of them were moving in today.
