I saw this on the news. What would make someone do something like this? It's just so hard to believe.

I have so much "around the house" stuff as well as errands to to today.....but I can't seem to turn the TV off....I keep watching MSNBC and CNN. This is SO sad. Just horrible.
The latest updates say that the shooter was 18-19 year old asian-american male carrying two handguns, one being a 9mm. He wore a vest with several clips. It was definitely premeditated. They've identified this incident as the worst shooting ever to occur on an American college campus, and maybe the worst modern mass shooting in America, period.

 The death toll has now risen to 31. The shooter shot students while they were in class...and when he came in, he chained the doors so people couldn't leave.

Like Janet said, I really wonder what happened to make that young man sick enough to be able to do this!
How tragic for all involved.

This scares me so much. I attend a large university (UGA) and I cannot believe this has happened on campus! I am so relieved that I personally do not have anyone that goes to school there, but I can imagine that many others do. Nowhere is safe anymore.. I pray for those affected by this tragedy..

It is so sad to see things like this happen in our country. I don't understand why this keeps happening. My heart really cries for the families who have lost loved ones.

One of my husband's good friends goes there and he's really worried about her. Please keep him (and her and everyone at the school and their families...) in your prayers. He doesn't want to call because she probably already has so much going on, but I can see how worried he is.
