Virginia Tech Shootings :(

Very sad event yesterday. I am sure you have all heard by now how 32 people got killed by a 23 year old south korean student. The first shooting was at the residence building, the second shooting two hours apart was at the Engineering building. An indian born civil/environmental engineering professor GV Loganathan was also killed, age 51.😭😭

I am an engineering student at my university as well. These type of things should not happen at a place of learning. It is an ironic paradox, university should be open to all those who want to acquire greater knowledge, but they also are open to those who do such heinous crimes.😕

My deep sympathies for the family and friends. We should all say a prayer and wish all those affected courage to deal with the pain and sorrow that they have to deal with probably for the rest of their lives. 😭

Avery shocking incident indeed for those who experienced it and also for all others. Hope their families have the courage to get thru it.

😭 MAY GOD GIVE Courage to parents who lost their kids 😭

When i first heard of the incident yesterday, i was completely shocked. such events did not have to happen, and they shouldnt of.

these academic facilities are meant to be grounds for further learning and development. a public place, where people should not feel their safety is at risk.

I'm also a 2nd year student at the univeristy of toronto, and if something like this were to occur here, that would be shocking.

my condolences go out to not just the victims and their families, but the entire student body at virgina tech.


a final note, the US goverment seriously needs some straightening out, their lack of gun regulations, is disgusting. in the states its soo easy to purchase a gun, its laughable. here in canada, we have the gun registry and a series of processes that any prospective buyer HAS to inlist and follow.

THe US should of learned after the columbine shooting. obviously they havent, and they've allowed yet again for another "Columbine" tragedy.

May god bless their souls and give their families enough courage to get over this loss!!!!!!

i feel very sad for them 😭

it was quite a tragic event 😭 one that is becoming more and more common over the years in schools and unis and to add it was 33 deceased and 2 seriously injured

Terrible, terrible tragedy....I couldn't believe it when I first saw it on the news. I went to high school with some of the kids who got shot... 😭 😭 It's just a very bad time for everyone

yea.. i live in Virginia and i go to a school called stuart hall where a lot of the seniors went to VA tech. Thank god their all okay but one of my friend's, cousin who i knew very well was shot and killed.. he went to fishburne high school; god bless him.
