I've read on a few blogs that the shooter was asian and used 2 9mm's and murdered the victims execution style.

Question: Would you do what this guy says after seeing him murder your classmates? I'd definitely try to communicate with my classmates and try to distract this guy by throwing a desk at him.

Once again, we will have more questions than answers...so terrible! Apparently a single gunman at two sites three hours apart...many questions!

Reminds me of the Univ. of Texas shootings many years ago where the gunman shot all those people from the campus clock tower.

Terrible news and very frightening for parents who send their kids away to schools. I guess it can happen on any campus.

Well AP and CNN report 31 dead, two at Roanoke level one trauma center and four others in surgery at local hospital...29 injured total...some with broken bones from fleeing etc. Simply unbelievable that one person could do this...now the deadliest shooting incident of any kind in US history.

Very somber mood around here. This city lives for Va Tech (have seen polls stating 50% of Roanokes population are Tech alums)...many people walking with that dazed look in their eyes.

Very sad day indeed...
