I'm drawing a blank today. Which S2Ker has the VT avatar? I hope you're safe and doing well in the midst of all of this.

Yeah, I'm trying to find the updated info in a link, but it's been confirmed by officials at the college("at least" 20). One at West Ambler Hall, 19 inside Norris.

This is worse than Columbine...

I'm surprised they didn't wait a few more days.

Duckie, I was just thinking about the Columbine anniversary yesterday.

OMGosh. :( I have been busy all day and just now saw this. I am in a state of shock. :(

Do they know if the killer was a student yet?

What security measures were in place at the university before the shootings took place? In addition, it will be interesting when the shooter's identity is revealed.

Sadly, I expect at least 36 deaths.
