Yeah I am fine. I've been talking to people all morning about it. I think one or two people I know were shot. There is reported 32 dead and 21 wounded. One of my friends was in Norris and helped a guy who was shot in the arm until police arrived. Fox News has a good report. thanks for your concerns, luckily I was in my apartment at the time.

Yeah I found just now that one of my friends was killed so that's pretty bad. They are supposed to release names and stuff tomorrow. Pretty bad day here.

First thing I thought of was you, Landon, and mech's brother.
I'm really glad you guys are all right. My heart goes out to you.
(what a way to return...)

I'm glad to know you're okay. Even though I heard the story all day, it wasn't until a few minutes ago that I thought, "Wait a minute... LANDON goes there." And I quickly rushed to the site to make sure you were all right. Not that I could have made a difference anyway, but still, my thoughts are with you.

I saw that... It was quite terrible and the new spread to the world. (I read it in a local newspaper and I live in Brazil), but I didn't know you studied there. I'm sorry for your lost.

Well don't let this event ruin your image of Virginia Tech. It is very tragic and upsetting, but I still think I go to a good school. It is just a bad thing that could have happened anywhere.

that's true. I still love Blacksburg
also, now that I think about it, VT will probably soon be one of the *safest* schools in the nation once Kaine & the state completely buff the security in Blacksburg.
it's just a shame this had to happen as a wakeup call for the nation
