There's apparently another article [url=http://www.vtnews.vt.edu/articles/2011/08/080411-unirel-deitrick.html]here[/url] from the VT website, but it's not loading. Here's another source.

Let's not hope this guy starts to shoot. Goddamnit.

oh fuck not again

I hope this is a mistake and it's a airsoft gun or a prop or something.

In other news, Virginia Tech admissions drop to 0% in Class of 2016.

I hope the police get him before its too late. The world has had enough murderous shootings.

If this happens again... God damn it

I would of thought the security at Virginia tech would be more tight after the massacre

More info from USA Today: [quote]Update at 10:35 a.m. ET: John Beck, a student who is not on campus for the summer but receives official communciations from the school, says he got the first text warning at 9:41 a.m. ET. Update at 10:32 a.m. ET: Law enforcement officers from Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Christiansburg and Montgomery County were on campus looking for the subject, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports. Update at 10:25 a.m. ET: The school's website says three young people attending a camp at Virginia Tech reported seeing a man holding what may have been a handgun, the Associated Press reports. They said it was covered by a cloth or covering of some sort, and that the man was walking in the direction of the volleyball courts. Lynn Davis, a spokesperson for the school, tells CNN the man is described as a white male, with light-brown hair, wearing a blue-and-white striped shirt. He is also wearing shorts and sandals, she says. Law enforcement officers from Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Christiansburg and Montgomery County were patrolling the campus, continuing to look for the subject.[/quote] [url]http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2011/08/virginia-tech-under-lockdown-because-of-report-of-gunman/1[/url] Sandals? This guy must be nuts. In all seriousness, if you run in those things, you have a good chance of breaking them and your legs in the process. This is either a mistake, or this guy is absolutely nuts and/or stupid.

I really hope they get this guy or this whole thing is a misunderstanding (it's a prop or something i unno) I just really hope no one gets hurt

Confirmed psychopathic murderer. He's wearing sandals.

It sounds like a misunderstanding to be honest, or something that might be aimed at a specific person.

lets see if he gets a bigger killing spree than that guy from norway [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Insensitive" - Autumn))[/highlight]

[QUOTE=Sin Cara;31527063]lets see if he gets a bigger killing spree than that guy from norway[/QUOTE] Not fucking funny douchebag. That's just morbid.

Probably a dumbass trying to copy the last one.

They should allow their students to conceal weapons on campus.

[QUOTE=Sin Cara;31527063]lets see if he gets a bigger killing spree than that guy from norway[/QUOTE] It will be really damn hard to surpass Breivik's kill count.

[QUOTE=Sin Cara;31527063]lets see if he gets a bigger killing spree than that guy from norway[/QUOTE] What the fuck seriously?

For fucks sake... Again?

Hopefully a misunderstanding... It seems to be that way as a guy was headed towards the volleyball courts with shorts and sandals.

[QUOTE=Sexy Eskimo;31527120]It will be really damn hard to surpass Breivik's kill count.[/QUOTE] Would be impossible since he has been reported having a handgun. Brevik almost shurely used a automatic rifle.

[QUOTE=possum272;31527101]They should allow their students to conceal weapons on campus.[/QUOTE]Concealed carry might be a bit too far, but they should get rid of those "No guns ever ever" zones, since the only people with a weapon in those areas are going to be criminals.

I really don't see the need for guns to be on a college campus, period. Unless your campus connects to a bad town to live in, like Rutgers New Brunswick, where you can pretty much get mugged walking back from classes at some hours.
