University Massacre
"It hasn't even registered to us," May said. "This is so much worse than Columbine. We don't even know what to think of it." - Washington Post
• University officials say 33 dead, including gunman
• Four hospitals report 29 wounded
• Attacks mark deadliest school shooting in U.S. history
• Student describes situation as "mayhem"; says 2 students jumped from window
- CNN
...We have friends there.
"Blacksburg is a very small town, everybody almost knows everybody. It's going to be very bad and very sad in here." - CBC
All of our close friends are now accounted for. However, I know that someone we know will know someone who was murdered: Enough people from our hometown attend Tech that it”™s more than likely. There”™s a rumor that someone we know, that her sister was one of the victims. I”™m hoping it”™s not true.
I don”™t even know what to say about this.
Update:
Christ. Her sister was shot in the hand.
Hoping our VA Tech Demanders are all right.
Update #2:
Hokie1984: One of my sister”™s friends was shot in the hand today
Hokie1984: but I think she is okay
Jessica: I heard
Hokie1984: But she is okay right?
Jessica: I don”™t know.
Jessica: I only heard she was shot in the hand
Jessica: and I hoped she didn't lose her hand
Hokie1984: no kidding
Jessica: I haven't seen her sis around in forever
Jessica: and I don't know her. We are probably hearing news from the same people.
Hokie1984: Neither do I
Hokie1984: my sister apparently does but I do not
Jessica: I knew someone connected to us would be involved
Jessica: there are just too many people we know at Tech you know
Hokie1984: yeah
Jessica: When I woke up that was the first thing I saw and I was like holy fuck, but I figured if anything had happened to you or the rest then I”™d already know.
Hokie1984: I overslept my first class, which was in the building next to Norris
Hokie1984: I slept through the whole thing.
Jessica: I”™m glad.
Hokie1984: I would have been safe
Hokie1984: he never left Norris
Jessica: Yeah, but it's traumatizing
Jessica: being on scene
Hokie1984: Alisha and her boyfriend were on lock down on campus though
Jessica: Ridiculous. Still can”™t get my head around it.
