Default Massacre on campus at Virginia Tech - 22 dead killed, including shooter
22 Dead In Virginia Tech Shootings - News Story - KNBC | Los Angeles

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Virginia Tech's campus police chief said at least 22 are dead after a shooting the university.


Charles Steger, the school's president, said that a 911 call came to the school's police department before 8 a.m. Monday, concerning an event in West Ambler Johnston Hall


Steger said two hours later, the school got reports of shooting at Norris Hall.

Steger said that the shooter in Norris Hall is deceased.

Officials said one person was killed and another was wounded in the first shooting, at West Ambler Johnston Hall, a huge campus dormitory that houses nearly 900 students.

Virginia Tech officials said there were "multiple victims" in a second shooting, at Norris Hall -- an engineering building. Government officials with knowledge of the shooting said there were "seven to eight" casualties in the second shooting.

The Blacksburg campus is still locked down and classes are canceled. The university community was ordered to stay inside.

Aimee Kanode, a freshman from Martinsville, Va., told The Associated Press that the shooting happened on the fourth floor of the dorm, one floor above her room. Kanode said students are "locked in our dorms surfing the Internet trying to figure out what's going on."

Faculty and staff on the Burruss side of the Drillfield are being released and asked to go home effective immediately. Faculty and staff on the War Memorial side are asked to leave at 12:30 p.m.

According to the school's Web site, the school has closed Monday and classes will be cancelled Tuesday, April 17. The university will remain open for administrative operations.

All students, faculty, and staff are required to stay where they are until police execute a planned evacuation. A phased closing will be in effect today; further information will be forthcoming as soon as police secure the campus.

Tuesday, there will be a university convocation/ceremony at noon at Cassell Coliseum. The Inn at Virginia Tech has been designated as the site for parents to gather and obtain information.

True to think this after the fact, but in reality, there is not alot that you can do when a gun is pointing directly at you.

It's either...
A.) Get shot in the face
B.) Get shot in the back

As the only thing you could do is run

thats a really dumb thing to say,to imply everyone who got shot was some pussy and you are some badass. Anyone here who has ever had a loaded gun pointed at them knows what it feels like, and just because you take protein shakes and supplements isnt gonna make you some hero. If you dont have a gun and one is pointed at you, you are at the mercy of the shooter.

WTF is wrong with people?
I can never ever imagine why someone would want to kill another human being. WHY? Why so much tragedy?

i feel bad for the engineering students at VT. When i first heard about this i immediatly thought about the engineering students being an engineering student myself.

sorry for any seniors, if any, close to graduating
