Blacksburg Virginia
It was a tragedy in Blacksburg, Virginia. I saw the news on Monday April 16, 2007, where at least 31 students and faculty of Virginia Tech were dead because they were shot by a gunman. Originally,it was suspected that there were two gunmen, but later it was surmised that there was only one. I can't believe that only one man killed 31 students at the same time and the detail as they new show on the TV and the testimony of the police is surprising, making this the deadliest shooting in modern U.S. history.
At approximately 7 a.m., Cho was seen loitering near the entrance to west Ambler hall ,a co-ed dormitory that houses 895 student . The hall is normally locked 10a.m. and it is not clear how Cho gained entrance to the facility.
About two hours later the initial shooting , Cho entered Norris hall ,which houses the Engineering science and Mechanic program , and chained the three main entrance shut. He then went to the second floor and began shooting and student and faculty member. By the end of this second attack nine minutes later ,30 people lay dead in four classroom and second floor hallway.
This devastating news should never be heard on the American College or School campuses. There should be safety measures taken that guarantee the safety of each and every student on campus. If this happens again, students will be afraid to go to school and colleges. safety Should be the first concern of school administrators so that all students feel safe while on college campuses.
