2. Is it me? Or does it seem that this sort of thing is happening more often?
This kind of thing used to get major attention. Now it's same old same old. Very tragic sign of the way this country is headed.

7. I always get very nervous when April 20th approaches
Hitler's birthday - Columbine - Waco - Oklahoma City - and now Virginia Tech So very sad, and yes, I do believe we are getting tougher and tougher when things like this happened. Gun violence sadly is a terrible everyday occurrence in this country. Now it is 22 dead.

16. April 19 - and there was an additional showdown on that day with White Supremacy movement
before Waco, but I can't recall the exact situation - I think it was a supremacist on the run who got caught and shot down that day.

15. CNN: at least 20 fatalities, multiple injured and
something about TWO shootings that I haven't quite figured out yet. 20 dead at dorm location (I think)

12. Norris Hall is the engineering building
A kid who's due to graduate in May and start working w/my husband as a mining engineer, goes to class in Norris Hall. We're praying he wasn't caught up in this.

19. Hope he is OK, I had students that had been transfered to Columbine
They were in a residential center for moderate to severe emotional problems and some finally made in back to public schools, Columbine was the public school that was 1/2 mile away in which they would go to. I was teaching at a different school at the time of the shooting and my first fear was one of my students were involved or injured. Luckily they were not and got out alive.

17. I'm still hoping it's 1 dead, 22 injured, but it's looking worse. would prefer
NO ONE dead, no one injured, of course. just sucks.
