[Speedball]

death toll bumped up to 33, not including the gunman.

Is anybody watching the press conference?

Campus security and the administration dropped the ****in' ball on this one.

 

[Matt]

Maybe, but that is simply a case of again, scape goating. There may have been lapses...but the kid who went on a murderous rampage dropped the ball. No one else.

 

[tzarinna]

I've finally turned on the news.
What a nightmare.

Who said anything about scape goating? I'm commenting on the fact that in this news conference (still going on) it's bringing into question whether or not the university went about the correct course of action in protecting its students. For example, they're being questioned heavily regarding their rather weak response to the initial shooting. Do remember, two people were killed and others wounded back at around 7 in the morning; hours before the engineering building shootings ever even happened.

there's reports that the man went haywire because of his girlfriend

 

[Speedball]

^ That was my best guess why.

Rumor about the identity

According to unconfirmed rumors available to The Reference Frame, the killer was a 6-foot tall male Asian - I suppose East Asian - student between 20 and 25 years from Radford University whose girlfriend from Virginia Tech left him. He had two guns (at least one of which was a 9 mm caliber handgun) and wore a vest - probably a bulletproof vest - with too much ammunition as well as a maroon cap and a black leather jacket.

In the morning, he went to her dormitory in the West Ambler Johnston Hall. She was not there so he shot her roommate and the residential assistant. They didn't shut down the university, so he continued and tried to find the ex-girlfriend in the classroom of the Norris Hall (engineering) a few hours later. He didn't know the exact location, so he has shot a couple of classes and then himself by a shot into his head.

Jesus, I didn't pop into the thread until now, I didn't realize it was such a severe shooting just going by the thread title. F**king tragic.

 

[ang_hulk]

so no one saw him chaining the door..................press charges for godsakes.!!!!!!!!!! this is terrible.

I think I'm still going to apply there.

It's a great school if your getting into engineering and science.

 

[Master Chief]

Oh boo hoo. News flash people die everyday. Theirs genocide, famine, and disease all over the world. American suffering is not anymore special than any one elses so GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE. Though this is surprising. It's alot harder to kill people than you may realize. The news said he had only two pistols so he must have been a damn good shot to score so many kills.

Hahah. Can you point me in the direction where you poke fun at all the famine and disease and genocide in the world? Disrespectful garbage about tragic bulls**t is stupid, and you're an idiot for passing it along.

That's not really a bad idea. I'd imagine the security will be incredibly beefed after this. Plus, the whole lightening striking twice thing.

A few things I heard on the radio:

Allegedly....

A guy got into a fight with his gf, shot her an a RA in the dorms.

2 hours later he walks into a classroom and shoots each person dead.

There's a kid who recorded the sound on his phone and you just here one pop after another.

It doesn't sound like this was random shooting this was all pretty methodical.

Also the shooter has no id or cell phone on him, his prints don't show up, and his face was disfigured so maybe that's why they haven't released his name.

It's always pretty easy to tell when some lame-ass tries to be part of the snarky crowd, because they fail so spectacularly at it.

Disfigured? Now it's getting a little ridiculous.

 

[ang_hulk]

thats odd.i bet he always had a chip on his shoulder over it.I bet the univeristy lcoses after all the law suits which it deserves,kid had two nines? chained the doors,wanst caught by security?????? c'mon.

 

[Erzengel]

Disfigured as in either he shot himself, or because he was shot by the police in the face.

 

[nosebleed.]

Did his GF live? If she did, imagine how crappy she's going to feel. I know its not her fault but she's bound to blame herself.

 

[ang_hulk]

o ok.

Survivor's guilt does suck, pretty royally. What if the girlfriend did die though? That makes it about a million times worse for the family, especially if they have other kids.

Not to mention it would have sucked hard that he actually succeeded with what he wanted to do.

Just found out about this now... What the hell was this about?
