My uncle supervises the campus security at my school/workplace and he's being called to an impromtu meeting tomorrow.
This could have happened anywhere.
I hope people don't use this against VT. I understand if kids who are there now need to transfer because of the emotional damage, but I hope the school itself doesn't get bombarded. Some people are just nutty and go nuts. No amount of security checkpoints and metal detectors can stop that.

Student played dead to escape college gunman
Virginia Tech University student Erin Sheehan played dead to save herself as a gunman burst into her German class and methodically mowed her class-mates down.
Ms Sheehan, sporting glasses and a shaved head, spoke calmly as she told CNN about her brush with the killer responsible for the deadliest school shooting spree in US history.
The gunman killed 32 people before killing himself.
"He was, I would say, about a little bit under six feet tall, young looking, Asian, dressed sort of strangely, almost like a boy scout, very short-sleeved light, tan shirt and some sort of ammo vest with black over it," Ms Sheehan said.
She said he was carrying what appeared to be a black handgun and peeked into the class twice before later coming back with murderous intent.
"He just stepped within five feet (1.5 meters) of the door and started firing," said Ms Sheehan, a freshman and mechanical engineering major.
"He seemed very thorough about it, getting almost everyone down. I was trying to act dead," she said.
"He left for about 30 seconds, came back in, did almost exactly the same thing. I guess he heard us still talking.
"And then we forced ourselves against the door so he couldn't come in again, the door would not lock. And so he came and tried to force himself in another three times and started shooting through the door."
Ms Sheehan said the class had 25 people in it plus the professor. "When we left, only four of us left," she said. "Everyone was else was unconscious, either dead or wounded seriously."

way to show some fucking respect asshole."We have to look at what happened here, but... I do believe in the constitutional right that everyone has, in the Second Amendment to the Constitution, to carry a weapon. Obviously we have to keep guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens."

It sounds like my friend is in stable condition, and that she'll pull through this.
My prayers go out to those who aren't as lucky.
