A Shooting In Blacksburg

VA Tech had a shooting this morning in one of their dorms closing the school today.

The state university posted an advisory on its Web site advising students that a shooting had occurred at a residence hall and a "gunman is loose on the campus." The university also told students to stay in their homes away from windows.

My co-worker I think said it best, "How much money do you want to put that the gunman's last name is Vick."

There may be more news as there appear to be reports that there may have been another shooting there. In all seriousness it's sad that we cannot keep the shootings only to high schools these days, as they are permeating to higher levels of education. That or VA Tech is just trying to be like UT, and that's just really sad.

In all seriousness, thoughts, prayers and what not go out to the friends and family of those who died today.
