There was havoc in the world not just a few days ago, when a lunatic University student decided to bring a Glock 9mm and 22mm gun to school and go on a shooting spree. Everyone in Virginia Tech was hysterical, either running for their lives, or watching their classmates being mualed right in front of their eyes. There was nothing they could do, it was almost like this guy was on a mission to kill everyone in sight. Why? No one knows. He ended up killing 33 people, teachers and students alike, and injuring over 20. And then he shot himself.
Upon hearing the news, my heart sank. My two friends Dave and Justin go to that University. What were the chances I knew someone from VT, let alone 2 good friends. The killer went trigger happy at the engineering block of the campus. Dave and Justin were from engineering. Holy shit indeed.
Thankfully, I saw Justin's name pop up on MSN. He's alive! Thank god. Dave? He's alive! Thank god again. It was his birthday, the poor boy. Now the second question was, what about their friends? I got 1st hand information from Justin, the numbers went up from 20, to 22, to 30, and now 33, including the psycho killer himself. One of Justin's friends had to jump from the second floor of the building to escape being shot.
The engineering community in VT is apparently very small, I'm sure everyone knew at least one person either shot or killed. My heart goes out to all the friends and families of the victims, and those who had the misfortune of having to witness murder right in front of them. Imagine the toll it must take on a person's mental health. They're scarred for life.
Apparently the psycho killer had an argument with his girlfriend, whom he killed, two hours before the shooting spree. You asshole. He was a loner, but he had a girlfriend. Interesting. You asshole.
Thanks Justin for being available for everyone to contact you. Tell Dave to do as you did in facebook, saying you're ok. We need to know. Haven't had the chance to talk to him yet. Take care dude, I hope you're all right. Both you and Dave are in our minds, prayers and hearts. Miss ya heaps!
