Shooting at Virginia Tech

Can't believe I'm the first to post this... didn't see another one so if it's a dupe please merge.


Police Officer Killed, Gunman Believed Dead

Quote:
(CBS/AP) BLACKSBURG, Va. - A man killed a police officer and then apparently killed himself Thursday at Virginia Tech, police and school officials said, in the first gunfire on campus since 33 people were killed there in 2007 in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

A "routine" traffic stop went bad, the suspect shot the police officer and fled. Apparently he ran to a traffic stop and then killed himself.

Sad day.

My thoughts, and my heart, go out to that Officer's family.

No such thing as a "routine" traffic stop. I hate it when the media says that. RIP, brother.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Officer's family. I'm thankful that there were not more victims.

That being said, I am confused as to how the assailant managed to get a gun on a gun free campus !?!?!? (tongue in cheek)

The news puts that same spin on everything.
They went on an on about how officers from all over rushed to the scene because one of their own got shot.

As if only a student got shot, they wouldn't have done as such.

Fox news is the worse. They spin everything as much as they can. I do enjoy fox news over any other though..

My oldest sister and her husband were enrolled at VT when the first shooting occurred. I found out through her about the second shooting only hours after it happened yesterday. I couldn't be more sympathetic for those at VT.
