The FBI is assisting Virginia State Police in the investigation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The package included a long, “rambling, manifesto-like statement embedded with a series of photographs,” Capus said. The material is “hard-to-follow ... disturbing, very disturbing — very angry, profanity-laced,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It does not include any images of the shootings Monday, but it does include “vague references,” including “things like ‘This didn’t have to happen,’ ” Capus said in an interview late Wednesday afternoon. &lt;br /&gt;Credit:(http://www.msnbc.msn.com)</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://techshooting.blogspot.com/feeds/1771090422246508398/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8783855148831995237/1771090422246508398' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8783855148831995237/posts/default/1771090422246508398'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8783855148831995237/posts/default/1771090422246508398'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://techshooting.blogspot.com/2007/04/cho-sent-package-to-nbc-before-shooting.html' title='Cho sent package to NBC before shooting'/><author><name>Steve</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05464061851074480916</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a111/dapsyche/ffp/profile.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783855148831995237.post-8348007235632892168</id><published>2007-04-18T13:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-18T13:14:12.512-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="memorial fund"/><title type='text'>Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://www.vt.edu/tragedy/images/candles.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;&quot; src=&quot;http://www.vt.edu/tragedy/images/candles.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Taken from www.vt.edu website)&lt;br&gt;&quot;April 16, 2007, will be remembered as one of the darkest days in the history of the Virginia Tech community and the world beyond.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To remember and honor the victims of those tragic events, the university has established the Hokie Spirit Memorial Fund to aid in the healing process and generate financial support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fund will be used to cover expenses including but not limited to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Grief counseling&lt;br /&gt;    * Memorials&lt;br /&gt;    * Communication expenses&lt;br /&gt;    * Comfort expenses&lt;br /&gt;    * Incidental needs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the wake of this tragedy, we are confident that Hokie Spirit will only grow stronger and more resilient.

He said Cho paid by check and left the store with the gun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Markell said Cho was &quot;a clean-cut college kid,&quot; and the transaction was entirely legal under Virginia law. &quot;He was as cordial as could be, and there was nothing unusual in his manner that suggested any thing wrong,&quot; Markell said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Markell said he was not present when Cho bought the gun, but that he had produced a state driver&#39;s license and an immigration card.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Law enforcement officials tell ABC News Cho bought his second weapon, a .22 caliber handgun, also in Virginia, within the last week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;This was no spur of the moment crime. He&#39;s been thinking about this since at least the time he bought the first gun,&quot; said former FBI agent Brad Garrett, an ABC News consultant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under Virginia law, state residents can only buy one handgun in any 30-day period, suggesting Cho bought his second weapon after April 13 or sometime over the weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;He clearly spent some time figuring out how he was going to take care of business once classes began on Monday morning,&quot;

I thought I&#39;d give you my account in case you wanted more information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was just a regular day in class; the door was open and we heard a pop-pop-popping noise. Sounded like some kind of construction but it was getting disruptive so we went to close the door, and one of the girls stepped out in the hallway to see what it was. She saw the gun and ran back inside the room and slammed the door shut and we all got down on the floor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We heard pretty much continuous shooting for the next minute or so, and I said, &quot;Shouldn&#39;t we barricade the door,&quot; because we were sitting ducks with no way out inside that room if he opened the door. A couple more people floated the idea that &quot;We need to barricade the door, NOW.&quot; But I was too scared to even move, much less move the teacher&#39;s desk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally one of the guys in the front of the classroom was brave enough to get up and move the desk in front of the door to prevent outside entry. About twenty seconds later, the shooter rattled the doorknob trying to get in. When he couldn&#39;t get in he fired two shots through the door (single solid piece of wood) and left. We heard him go in to 206 (the room across the hall) and shoot the people in that room. If we hadn&#39;t put the barricade up when we did, I and all my classmates would be dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the police arrived five minutes later we heard them call for him to surrender his weapon and some more, irregular shots. Another five minutes later the police knocked and yelled &quot;Police!&quot; and we yelled &quot;How do we know?&quot; and when a second voice confirmed that it was in fact police, we opened the door. An officer came in and told us to line up single file, take nothing with us (I grabbed my coat) and run out the door single file while another officer escorted us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We entered the hallway. Blood, bullet casings, and empty pistol clips were everywhere; this was definitely the most horrifying sight of my entire life. We ran past quickly. A door to the stairwell had been opened and there was a massive trail of blood; we found out later that a class had tried to escape only to find that the monster had chained the doors shut before starting his rampage. They were all killed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all ran to a nearby building and stayed there until we could be processed, and that was the end of it. Thank you all for your concerns and prayers, but please mostly pray for those who were seriously injured or hurt today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, let me say that the response from the campus, local, and state police was exemplary. Within five minutes of the first shots, police were gathering outside. In another ten minutes, the threat had been neutralized and the building was secure. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to the brave men and women who kept us safe today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--Jacob Simmons&lt;br /&gt;junior, Computer Engineering, Virginia Tech&lt;br /&gt;Credit:(http://michellemalkin.com/archives/2007_04.htm)</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://techshooting.blogspot.com/feeds/6058113063331843808/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8783855148831995237/6058113063331843808' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8783855148831995237/posts/default/6058113063331843808'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8783855148831995237/posts/default/6058113063331843808'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://techshooting.blogspot.com/2007/04/letter-sent-to-michelle-malkin.html' title='Letter Sent to Michelle Malkin'/><author><name>Steve</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05464061851074480916</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a111/dapsyche/ffp/profile.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783855148831995237.post-5231696137457714719</id><published>2007-04-17T07:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-17T07:18:32.400-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="cho seung-hui"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="gunman"/><title type='text'>Cho Seung-Hui</title><content type='html'>Taken from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2323929844&quot;&gt;Facebook Group&lt;/a&gt; description:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cho Seung-Hui: Fuel Peace with your words, not anger&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style:italic;&quot;&gt;&quot;A horrific event that no doubt causes anger and frustration.

align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;BLACKSBURG, Va. Apr 17, 2007 (AP)— A gunman massacred 32 people at Virginia Tech in the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history Monday, cutting down his victims in two attacks two hours apart before the university could grasp what was happening and warn students. The bloodbath ended with the gunman committing suicide, bringing the death toll to 33 and stamping the campus in the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains with unspeakable tragedy, perhaps forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Investigators gave no motive for the attack. The gunman&#39;s name was not immediately released, and it was not known whether he was a student.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Today the university was struck with a tragedy that we consider of monumental proportions,&quot; Virginia Tech President Charles Steger said. &quot;The university is shocked and indeed horrified.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But he was also faced with difficult questions about the university&#39;s handling of the emergency and whether it did enough to warn students and protect them after the first burst of gunfire. Some students bitterly complained they got no warning from the university until an e-mail that arrived more than two hours after the first shots rang out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wielding two handguns and carrying multiple clips of ammunition, the killer opened fire about 7:15 a.m. on the fourth floor of West Ambler Johnston, a high-rise coed dormitory, then stormed Norris Hall, a classroom building a half-mile away on the other side of the 2,600-acre campus. Some of the doors at Norris Hall were found chained from the inside, apparently by the gunman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two people died in a dorm room, and 31 others were killed in Norris Hall, including the gunman, who put a bullet in his head. At least 15 people were hurt, some seriously. Students jumped from windows in panic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alec Calhoun, a 20-year-old junior, said he was in a 9:05 a.m. mechanics class when he and classmates heard a thunderous sound from the classroom next door &quot;what sounded like an enormous hammer.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Screams followed an instant later, and the banging continued. When students realized the sounds were gunshots, Calhoun said, he started flipping over desks for hiding places. Others dashed to the windows of the second-floor classroom, kicking out the screens and jumping from the ledge of Room 204, he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I must&#39;ve been the eighth or ninth person who jumped, and I think I was the last,&quot; said Calhoun, of Waynesboro, Va. He landed in a bush and ran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Calhoun said that the two students behind him were shot, but that he believed they survived. Just before he climbed out the window, Calhoun said, he turned to look at the professor, who had stayed behind, perhaps to block the door. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The instructor was killed, he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At an evening news conference, Police Chief Wendell Flinchum refused to dismiss the possibility that a co-conspirator or second shooter was involved. He said police had interviewed a male who was a &quot;person of interest&quot; in the dorm shooting who knew one of the victims, but he declined to give details.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I&#39;m not saying there&#39;s a gunman on the loose,&quot; Flinchum said. Ballistics tests will help explain what happened, he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sheree Mixell, a spokeswoman for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said the evidence was being moved to the agency&#39;s national lab in Annandale. At least one firearm was turned over, she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mixell would not comment on what types of weapons were used or whether the gunman was a student.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Young people and faculty members carried out some of the wounded themselves, without waiting for ambulances to arrive. Many found themselves trapped behind chained and padlocked doors. SWAT team members with helmets, flak jackets and assault rifles swarmed over the campus. A student used his cell-phone camera to record the sound of bullets echoing through a stone building.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trey Perkins, who was sitting in a German class in Norris Hall, told The Washington Post that the gunman barged into the room at about 9:50 a.m. and opened fire for about a minute and a half, squeezing off about 30 shots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The gunman first shot the professor in the head and then fired on the students, Perkins said. The gunman was about 19 years old and had a &quot;very serious but very calm look on his face,&quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Everyone hit the floor at that moment,&quot; said Perkins, 20, of Yorktown, Va., a sophomore studying mechanical engineering. &quot;And the shots seemed like it lasted forever.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Erin Sheehan, who was also in the German class, told the student newspaper, the Collegiate Times, that she was one of only four of about two dozen people in the class to walk out of the room. The rest were dead or wounded, she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She said the gunman &quot;was just a normal-looking kid, Asian, but he had on a Boy Scout-type outfit. He wore a tan button-up vest, and this black vest, maybe it was for ammo or something.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Students said that there were no public-address announcements after the first shots. Many said they learned of the first shooting in an e-mail that arrived shortly before the gunman struck again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I think the university has blood on their hands because of their lack of action after the first incident,&quot; said Billy Bason, 18, who lives on the seventh floor of the dorm. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steger defended the university&#39;s conduct, saying authorities believed that the shooting at the dorm was a domestic dispute and mistakenly thought the gunman had fled the campus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;We had no reason to suspect any other incident was going to occur,&quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steger emphasized that the university closed off the dorm after the first attack and decided to rely on e-mail and other electronic means to spread the word, but said that with 11,000 people driving onto campus first thing in the morning, it was difficult to get the word out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said that before the e-mail went out, the university began telephoning resident advisers in the dorms and sent people to knock on doors. Students were warned to stay inside and away from the windows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;We can only make decisions based on the information you had at the time. You don&#39;t have hours to reflect on it,&quot; Steger said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some students and Laura Wedin, a student programs manager at Virginia Tech, said their first notification came in an e-mail at 9:26 a.m., more than two hours after the first shooting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The e-mail had few details. It read: &quot;A shooting incident occurred at West Amber Johnston earlier this morning. Police are on the scene and are investigating.&quot; The message warned students to be cautious and contact police about anything suspicious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Edmund Henneke, associate dean of engineering, said that he was in the classroom building and that he and colleagues had just read the e-mail advisory and were discussing it when he heard gunfire. He said that moments later SWAT team members rushed them downstairs, but that the doors were chained and padlocked from the inside. They left the building through an unlocked construction area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until Monday, the deadliest shooting in modern U.S. history was in Killeen, Texas, in 1991, when George Hennard plowed his pickup truck into a Luby&#39;s Cafeteria and shot 23 people to death, then himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The massacre Monday took place almost eight years to the day after the Columbine High bloodbath near Littleton, Colo. On April 20, 1999, two teenagers killed 12 fellow students and a teacher before taking their own lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Previously, the deadliest campus shooting in U.S. history was a rampage in 1966 at the University of Texas at Austin, where Charles Whitman climbed the clock tower and opened fire. He killed 16 people before police shot him to death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Founded in 1872, Virginia Tech is about 160 miles west of Richmond. With more than 25,000 full-time students, it has the state&#39;s largest full-time student population. It is best known for its engineering school and its powerhouse Hokies football team. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The campus is centered on the Drill Field, a grassy field where military cadets practice. The dorm and the classroom building are on opposites sides of the Drill Field.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Bush offered his prayers to the victims and the people of Virginia, saying the tragedy would be felt in every community in the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the shootings, all campus entrances were closed, and classes were canceled through Tuesday. The university set up a spot for families to reunite with their children. It also made counselors available and planned an assembly Tuesday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Police said there had been bomb threats on campus over the past two weeks but said they had not determined a link to the shootings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was second time in less than a year that the campus was closed because of a shooting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In August, the opening day of classes was canceled when an escaped jail inmate allegedly killed a hospital guard off campus and fled to the Tech area. A sheriff&#39;s deputy was killed just off campus. The accused gunman, William Morva, faces capital murder charges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among Monday&#39;s dead was Ryan Clark, a student from Martinez, Ga., with several majors who carried a 4.0 grade-point average, said Vernon Collins, coroner in Columbia County, Ga.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At a hastily arranged service Monday night at Blacksburg Presbyterian Church, the Rev. Susan Verbrugge gazed out at about 150 bowed heads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Death has come trundling into our life, a sudden and savage entity laying waste to our hearts and making desolate our minds,&quot; Verbrugge said during a prayer. &quot;We need now the consolation only you can give.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the service, Clark&#39;s friend Gregory Walton, a 25-year-old who graduated last year, said he feared his nightmare had just begun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I knew when the number was so large that I would know at least one person on that list,&quot; said Walton, a banquet manager. &quot;I don&#39;t want to look at that list. I don&#39;t want to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;It&#39;s just, it&#39;s going to be horrible, and it&#39;s going to get worse before it gets better.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Credit: (Copyright 2007 The Associated Press.)</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://techshooting.blogspot.com/feeds/4038837469272503653/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8783855148831995237/4038837469272503653' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8783855148831995237/posts/default/4038837469272503653'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8783855148831995237/posts/default/4038837469272503653'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://techshooting.blogspot.com/2007/04/gunman-kills-32.html' title='Gunman Kills 32'/><author><name>Steve</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05464061851074480916</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a111/dapsyche/ffp/profile.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783855148831995237.post-6591851338358349268</id><published>2007-04-16T20:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-16T20:51:54.435-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="timeline"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="tragedy"/><title type='text'>Tragedy Timeline</title><content type='html'>A timeline of the tragedies that occurred can be found on the Virginia Tech school website.

In an instant, Virginia Tech&#39;s Norris Hall, a building dedicated to the science of engineering, was torn apart by the worst shooting rampage in modern U.S. history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Junior Richard Mallalieu said he and about 20 classmates instantly dropped to the floor, ducking under and behind desks for what sounded like the first 10 shots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;It wasn&#39;t like an automatic weapon, but it was a steady &#39;pow,&#39; &#39;pow,&#39; &#39;pow,&#39; &#39;pow,&#39; &quot; Mallalieu, 23, said in a phone interview with The Sun. &quot;We didn&#39;t know what to do at first.&quot; Then the sound of the gunshots shifted. Coming closer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their next move became instantly clear: Get out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mallalieu said his professor held the door shut while students darted to the windows. Some climbed on desks, ledges and a radiator cover to pull down the screens and kick at the metal-framed glass, Mallalieu said. Three windows easily gave way and swung open on hinges as the gunshots got louder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Closer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;It sounded like he was going out into the hallway,&quot; said Mallalieu, a civil engineering major from Luray, Va.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once the windows for the second-floor classroom were open, Mallalieu and most of his classmates hung out of them and dropped about 10 feet to bushes and grass below, he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some students ran to a nearby building. Others waited to help students who had been injured in the fall, Mallalieu said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then the sound of gunfire filled their classroom, sending all who had escaped toward nearby Patton Hall, he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mallalieu said he never saw Librescu escape. &quot;I don&#39;t think my teacher got out.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Librescu, a professor of engineering science and mechanics who was educated in Romania and is a U.S. citizen, could not be reached Monday. As of 4 p.m., his wife had not been able to find him either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I am looking also. I know that he was shot, but I cannot find him,&quot; she said, panicked, in a phone interview. &quot;How is it possible that a wife cannot know?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She hung up before she could clearly state her full name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two hours earlier&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All morning, news of the tragedy spread through e-mails, instant messages and phone calls. And though the mass killing in Norris Hall unfolded in mid- morning, the first shots had rung out about two hours earlier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;David Kramar, a 32-year-old graduate student, was working in his office at Major Williams Hall when the shootings started. He received an e-mail from campus officials that warned of shootings across campus at the West Ambler Johnston dorm and told students and faculty members to remain indoors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Students began streaming into his building. &quot;I had a couple of undergrads I teach who came in crying,&quot; he said. &quot;People were terrified.&quot; Soon, he heard shots from the direction of Norris Hall, which is nearby. &quot;It was distinct gunshots. I don&#39;t know if it was police or the shooter himself.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About two hours later, when police allowed students and the faculty to leave their buildings, he went to a Blacksburg bar called the Rivermill for a beer to calm his nerves. From a phone there, he said, &quot;Right now everything is on lockdown, the streets are empty. This stuff doesn&#39;t really happen in Blacksburg.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E-mail warnings&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freshman Katherine Runge, 18, of Towson lives in the huge Ambler Johnston dorm, which holds nearly 900 students. But her room is far from the location of the shootings, so she didn&#39;t hear anything Monday morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, about 8 a.m. -- shortly after the shootings started -- she left the dorm and went to breakfast at a nearby dining hall. After she returned to the dorm, a friend called, asking if she&#39;d been told to stay in her room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;I just thought she was joking around, trying to scare me,&quot; the Towson High grad said. She realized the danger was real when she received an e-mail at 9:26 a.m. from school officials warning that a shooting had occurred on the west side of the dorm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;The university community is urged to be cautious and are asked to contact Virginia Tech Police if you observe anything suspicious or with information on the case,&quot; the e-mail read. At 9:50, she received another, more ominous, message. It read: &quot;A gunman is loose on campus. Stay in buildings until further notice. Stay away from all windows.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As police cars and ambulances rushed to the dorm, she called her parents to say she was unharmed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Everyone was scared,&quot; she said. &quot;Cops were running around outside with huge rifles.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#39;We were in shock&#39;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freshman Claire Hach, a graduate of Notre Dame Prep in Towson, was about to leave her class in Wallace Hall when a school official grabbed her and told her to immediately head to a computer lab in the basement. It was then she saw the computer printouts taped to the door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 19-year-old business management major and another student calmly walked to the computer lab. They still did not know what was happening at Norris Hall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one knew what the signs meant, she said. They had heard about a dorm shooting, &quot;but we thought it was a freak accident,&quot; said Hach, whose sister Ashley is a junior at Virginia Tech.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;In the beginning we weren&#39;t taking it seriously,&quot; she said. But then the news Web sites relayed what was happening. &quot;As we kept hearing that people were killed we were in shock.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Police on the scene&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brett Mastropieri, 23, a senior mechanical engineering major from Monkton, was in class in McBryde Hall, near Norris Hall, at the time of the shooting. He said a distant booming caught the attention of people in class, but many thought it was construction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Toward the end of class a bunch of students got the e-mails and text messages [about the shootings],&quot; said the graduate of Loyola Blakefield High School.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As they left the building, they were told to get away from the buildings. &quot;We watched the police as they surrounded the buildings,&quot; he said. &quot;We didn&#39;t hear any shooting after that.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;Credit: (http://www.baltimoresun.com)</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://techshooting.blogspot.com/feeds/5510264793639647229/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/8783855148831995237/5510264793639647229' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8783855148831995237/posts/default/5510264793639647229'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8783855148831995237/posts/default/5510264793639647229'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://techshooting.blogspot.com/2007/04/i-dont-think-my-teacher-got-out.html' title='&#39;I don&#39;t think my teacher got out&#39;'/><author><name>Steve</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05464061851074480916</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a111/dapsyche/ffp/profile.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783855148831995237.post-317600169774003884</id><published>2007-04-16T19:42:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-16T19:45:02.946-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="president bush"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="white house"/><title type='text'>President Bush Shocked, Saddenned by Shootings at Virginia Tech</title><content type='html'>THE PRESIDENT: Our nation is shocked and saddened by the news of the shootings at Virginia Tech today.
