Virginia Tech Shooting


Federal Officials: At Least 32 Dead After Virginia Tech University Shooting

BLACKSBURG, Va. — At least 32 people are confirmed dead and at least another 21 are wounded after a shooting at Virginia Tech University Monday morning, federal law enforcement officials told FOX News.

Campus police said there was only one shooter and he is now dead. They are unsure if the shooter was a student and it was unclear if he was shot by police or took his own life.
"The university was struck today with a tragedy of monumental proportions," Virginia Tech President Charles Steger said during a press conference shortly after noon. "The university is shocked and horrified that this would befall our campus ... I cannot begin to convey my own personal sense of loss over this senselessness of such an incomprehensible and heinous act."
It was the deadliest campus shooting in U.S. history.
Steger said school officials are notifying victims' next of kin, and state police and the FBI are still investigating the various crime scenes. They are still trying to identify all the victims. The university will set up counseling centers for students and faculty.

FOXNews
It's a shot in the arm for the gun control crowd. They are sprinting this very moment to get their agenda rolling.You can count on them, the anti Gun lobby, to exploit this like Al Gore on a 100 degree day. They will flood the talk show circuit with stories of, "Guns killed my baby!" and the various others. This is definitely a tragedy of historic proportions which only gives gun control advocates more fodder for which to propagandize.
