I havent tried to leave. The latest word i received was to stay in my dorm.

I did not hear the shooting but i was on the air during the noon broadcast.

Scary stuff!! We are all thinking about you. I have a lot of friends and family in Virginia!

Unbelieveable that a person could make it that far without drawing attention to himself. Do you think the shooter was a student?

This is such a distressing story.

You and your fellow students, faculty and staff are in our hearts and prayers. Please take care and lean on each other, knowing that people across the country have their arms around you in spirit.

Thank you all for the concern. Yes i am trying to contact friends here but it is very hard b/c of all the cell phone use. It is almost impossible to make a call. Yes i am on the first floor of west ambler johnston and the first shooting was on the fourth floor of my building.

ob, do you know what the motive is behind the shootings? Did the shooter have any altercations w/fellow students or faculty prior to the shooting? A similar incident happened a year after I got stationed to Ft. Bragg, NC(95) where a soldier from the 82nd Airborne Division shot at a formation preparing for a 4-mile run and injured 19 soldiers and killing 1 major. Most of you will recall the story; nevertheless, ob, we're praying for you and the victims as well as your family and theirs. Keep the Faith, God will prevail.

I do not know the motive of the shooting. I also do not know of any altercations. Most of the information that i know is what i am seeing and hearing on the news. Thank you all again for the thoughts and prayers.

Was there just one Shooter? I wonder where he/she was for the 2 hours in between shootings.

As far as i know there was just one shooter. There are still many ?s that are unanswered.
