On Monday morning before heading over to school, I was watching the news to see what the weather was going to be for the day. How ever there was a story on how 2 people were killed in Virginia Tech University. I didn't think much of it, knowing the crazy world we live in. Later on in the day, after my theology class I went to the library and got on to my laptop. My browser's homepage is on google.com where I have "widgets" that show you the latest news. At the top of the list, I read 23 people dead. I was simply shocked, the count went from 2-23. From a murder to a massacre. I kept reading articles, going from news site to news site, each time the number getting larger, and eventually capped off at 33. All I could think to myself is "another Columbine?" I was hoping they had the school under control, and I was obviously curious as to why and who did these killings.
The stories we all heard on the event have been bone chilling. Listening to how one girl acted like she was dead so the gunman wouldn't kill her was amazing. I have no clue if I wouldve been able to do that if I was in her situation. Later on, we all found out who the killer was. At first I heard he was an exchange student from Korea, but that would soon be dismissed when it was confirmed that he live in America since 1992. What would make a person do such a thing? It was simply mind-numbing. My heart goes out to all the people who were killed or wounded in these shootings. I only can wonder how frightening it might have been for them. The shootings at the Engineering hall were very sad, those kids must have been very smart to be in an engineering class, and their lives have been ended by one deranged killer.
