Great...I can hear McCarthy already...

Hope all stay safe and the perp is accosted

Jesus Christ.

I hope everyone comes out of this okay. Prayers with the student's and faculty. Hopefully there aren't too many around as it is the summer.

Oh, look, a "gun-free zone"

If only there was one other legally armed citizen to stop the threat.

we visited va tech this april to check out the school.  my wife just crossed it off my daughter's list.

Just got taken off my list as well.

Three summer camp kids saw "what might have been a handgun covered with cloth".

I say we call out McCarthy, Bloomie, and the National Guard to retaliate.

And, just thinking ... "If" the National Guard was called in, would they be allowed to be armed?

Where's Sydney ??

Sydney, did you decide to go back to school?

I would use caution guys jumping on this. There was just someone supposedly spotted with a gun . . . and there are no shots heard either. Let's not jump the gun here. It could also be a mistake in identity of a firearm to begin with or "someone" just saying that to cause a problem.

Let's see how this plays out before jumping to conclusions . . . . . . . . so far everyone is still in class and nothing is going on anywhere on campus.

Yeah, for the gunman.

Not funny, but yes. I'm studying for my doctorate online!
I've never been to Virginia Tech.

I heard earlier that a search was made and no one was found.  Can we say "super sensitive?"

"Jesus Christ" is there brandishing a gun?!!

Well if the guy at Virginia Tech is a "gunman", then so are all of us. Just because someone has a gun doesn't mean he is a bad guy. It was probably some law abiding CCW holder who accidentally brandished his firearm and is now going home to change his underwear and not tell anyone after this lockdown because of fear of getting in trouble. After what happened a few years ago, I'm sure many people carry secretly at that school incase another copycat psychopath was the commit the same mass killing. Whether the school permits the firearms or not.
