I just talked to my friend. All three of his kids are fine. His youngest son had left VA Tech this past semester to take a break from college. His youngest daughter also lives 200 yards from the campus. He was at her house when they heard shots. He told her to get her new baby inside. After the town's lockdown was removed, he picked up his oldest son. I am so glad they are all ok. My heart goes out to the families & friends that have lost someone & I hope their healing can begin soon.

Even though all those people, friends, family, faculty are in my prayers.....I find I'm not wanting to hear anymore about it. Is that awful? It seems there is nothing we can do to stop it and news just keeps going over and over the same thing. I just want it to go away...to never have happened. How can these things happen...

This is what my friend's boyfriend said about it. (The one who lost her uncle) She has already told me that she wished the news would shut up about it. They're not getting any relief or time to grieve b/c everywhere they turn there's something else about it either on tv, the radio, the paper, the internet. There is no relief.

The tapes the shooter sent are absolutely chilling. That poor guy had a very sick mind. Obviously this wswn't his first brush with weird behavior, but that just makes it scarier I think. HOW do you predict and prevent something like this?
I wouldn't want to have had to be the ones at NBC who got the pakcage and had to decide what to do with it.
