A "Gun Free Zone" no doubt.

Oh my god!

I saw the first report and it sounded like one killed and one wounded.

RIP to the victims and all my prayers to the families. Sad day for the USA.

Death toll is now at least 32. Is ccw illegal on campus in VA?

[Harry Carry]

The campus is a Gun Free Zone. CCWs are not allowed. A bill to allow CCW on campus was defeated last year in the Virgina legislature.

This is really frustrating.
I wonder what kind of "knee jerk" reaction we are going to get out of this one.
"Stay present, stay focused, stay alert"
There was not one armed person around to stop this maniac, like it was during the situation in Utah. There you have it, "gun free zone".

The NRA and all the other pro gun people need to be out in front of this. Far too often we allow the left to do their spin while we lay back until the dust settles. WRONG!! This is the perfect example of the need for armed self defense. Any other spin is just that.

--> Worst College School Shooting in U.S. History

5:45pm The two people who were shot in West Ambler Johnston this morning, a male and a female, are deceased. The male's name was Ryan Clark.

5:10pm Ten agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are now on the Virginia Tech campus assisting with weapons identification. They are collecting shell casings and running some preliminary tests on scene. Once the weapon has been identified, they will begin an "urgent trace" to determine its origins — where it came from, to whom it was registered, and its history of ownership. All material will be sent to the ATF's national crime lab in Maryland. Former Assistant FBI Director Bill Gavin said if reports that the shooter chained the doors to Norris Hall are true, that is &ltquo;definite proof of premeditation,&rtquo; as is the number of magazines and rounds of ammunition he apparently had. [...]

2:03pm: The US Justice Department is reporting 32 fatalities in the shooting incident.[...]

Yes it was, much to the delight of the University... at that time. More of the Same once again led to a predictable result...

Premeditation.
Chained locked the doors, "Gun free environment" so nobody can shoot back.
When the LEOs breached the entryway and secured the first floor then they went up to the second floor the shooting stops!
I bet the scumbag did not want to "deal" with somebody that could shoot back. ....Coward!

It is amazing that many in our country have come to accept that having the ability and the will to defend one's self is the symptom of a problem rather than the solution to one.

After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it. I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military.
