As Boortz would say, “If I can’t have her, then can’t nobody have her!” in that irritating redneck voice he does............

Also in 2006 they locked down the campus to find an escaped convict.

Choppers in the air according to the scanner. A lot of victims. Shooting at the Burger King. It sounds like a Columbine type of situation. Calling for all neighboring rescue squads

I think that is the Girls Dorm at Virginia Tech, my daughter resided there for two years.

One of many, but yes, it's a girls' dorm. My then-girlfriend, now-wife used to live on the ground floor in West AJ.

As one whose kid is on a college campus this AM, my heart goes out to parent’s who are hearing this news.

Hope they catch the perp soon!

“Aug. 2006 two people shot there as well.

This dorm is coed.”

The two people shot in Augus\t had nothing to do with the school. One report had that killer in a university building but later shown he never came on campus. Was not a student and no university people were hurt.

BLACKSBURG, Va. - A shooting at a Virginia Tech dorm Monday left one person dead and one wounded, a state government official with knowledge of the case told The Associated Press.

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.

Looks like someone paid someone to ensure a new assault weapon ban passes.

Shooting at the Burger King.

Isn't that over by Monteith, all the way across campus from West AJ? Or is there another Burger King now?

Can you believe the people at DU are worried this is going to overshadow news about Gonzales... I can't believe how insane these people are.

And as one who worked on a college campus for a long time, my prayers go out to all the clerks, faculty, and other staff as well...and for the kids frightened out of their gourds, and who may have seen something that will trouble them a long time. And for the security people.
