Dude, I heard about that!  Sucks pretty bad, huh?

(didn't know 32 got killed tho, last I heard it was only 24 ppl confirmed.)

Thanx for the update.

[NiTRoX]

Thats bad man. Was he in one of those religious sects who want to bring the end or the world now?

[Seldom]

Its unclear, but apparently he came into the dorm looking for his girlfriend. There have been numerous bomb threats in the previous week.

Unsure, but apparently Tremma from Tremulous goes to Virginia Tech.

 

[NiTRoX]

Well lets hope he wasn't one of the victims.. :/

Was the shooter number 33?  Or is he not included in the total?

What's the status of the injured... are any of their injuries potentially fatal?

[Seldom]

33 people killed including the shooter.

Unsure on injured status.

[KobraKaine]

K thanks.

[_Equilibrium_]

ugh, just the way to brighten my day...

[Xonya]

tremma is still alive.

[St. Anger]

tremma is still alive.

Thank god, if Tremma had died Tremulous would be 2x more boring.

-Yahoo would probably go in shock hearing Tremma's death and kill himself (Emo-Style).

This incident only hardens my philosophy that we all should live each day to the fullest cause it just might be your last. think about it.

You'll probably end up being that drunk, broke, crazy old man at the corner of the street.

there should be 32 on killcount
-1 for selfownage (AsianGunman irritated himself)

[SithLord]

Asian gunman kills 33 people, 28 injured. Kills himself

Not fucking funny.  This isn't a game, this guy actually killed people.

[floodbud]

Be serious, this is real human lives being taken.  I live the US and it freaks me out every time I hear about a killing spree like that...like the one with the milk delivery guy shooting all those ahmish kids.  That one was a little closer.  I hope everyone realizes that Trem is just a game, and shooting real people is a lot different and a lot worse.

Don't mean to sound like your mom, but still...

Identified the killer now, he was an english major. Undergrad.

He was always a loner and refused to talk to people. At the beginning of a class semester, everyone signed in on a sheet. When it was his turn he wrote a question mark.

He spoke very little and is known to have stalked women and set part of his dorm on fire. Classmates say he was the stereotypical school shooter.

Two of the plays he wrote have been uploaded to the web. Very weird and odd. Nsfw possibly.

His main characters name is Dick Mcbeef.

The same gun was used in the two shootings, but they did not confirm that this guy did both.

what do u think who could play in this?

i see it like this:

richard diggs

john nitrox

sue spam bringer

dead dad sleekslacker

btw

does Cho Seung-Hui mean -"i will kill yo all with 2 guns"?

[Seldom]

He did use two guns in the second shooting. They know that one of those guns was also used in the first.

[BeerBastard]

I have to say that sucks,  How come there wasnt a lockdown? Is that answered yet?

If you think about it, these types of situations make me wish most people carried a gun. He wouldnt have goten as far I think. I think people on the whole are more good than bad, but these days we have such strict gun policies its harder for a good person to get a gun than a bad one.

[Seldom]

Its not hard at all for ANYONE to get a gun in virginia.

You need to be a legal resident and cant have any felonies. Then you just show the vendor your proof of residence and you are set.

if everyone carried guns, there woul fbe a lot more accidents methinks.

[Vector_Matt]

Mabey, but if that guy walked into the school and started shooting people, he might have got 3~4 before someone else shot him, instead of 32 then shooting himself.
