It is deplorable that at this point in time that 31 people have died at Virginia Tech as a result of the shooting spree by what is reported as one lone gunman. Why didn't the college warn the students 2 hours earlier after the first shooting spree? The "lone gunman" had time to go ALL THE WAY across the campus and catch students in classrooms. The school should have been locked down hours earlier.
I also find it hard to believe how the news media is pushing the report that the gunman was an "Asian" man in his 20's. From the numbers killed and the amount of ammunition that the gunman had, that this was preplanned and that there might have been more than one gunman. It has been reported on Fox News that the shooter in the the engineering classroom building at the second shooting scene had chained all the exterior doors. That alone shows alot of foresight and planning along with the amount of ammo that was apparently used and carried by the shooter. Yet the government and reporters are bending over backwards to avoid labeling this an act of terrorism. Especially Islamic terrorism.
The school has just confirmed that the shooter at Norris Hall who was killed by authorities carried no identification. I find this hard to believe that this was NOT an act of terrorism at this point. Carrying little or no ID would be typical of terrorists planning or when conducting a terrorist attack. They cannot at this time connect the single shooter to both shootings at the campus.
So watch the dance by authorities and the media as they try to deny this was an Islamic terrorist act.
My heart goes out to the parents and family of those killed and wounded today.
