33 Dead and 18 injured on my campus

Today is a very sad day for me.

A gunman was loose on my campus today - Virginia Tech, Blacksburg - and so many students have been killed in this quiet town. 18 are wounded and some jumped off the top floor windows of their building trying to save themselves. We were on lock down in the office, and we have now been told to evacuate immediately.

Let us all pray for the families involved and pray for the youth.

Today is indeed a solmn day for us all. Lets pray that God will comfort us all.

That's horrible...I know like 6 students there in my graduating class alone I just pray that they are all okay. I heard it on the news and it was so sad, I was just shocked and the death toll just kept on getting higher and higher. I'll definitely keep them and their families in my prayers.

It is well. Thank God u're safe and may God comfort the families that lost their loved ones- Amen. The heart of man is desperately wicked. Why-O-Why would a 23 year old kied just wake up one morning and decide to kill? I cannot just fathom it. May God help us all and may he continue to protect us from the wiles of the wicked- Amen.

Glad to know you are safe. I pray God comforts the family members of the students involved and may God continue to guide our steps wherever we go. A Yoruba prayer says Olorun ma je ka rin irin aifesesi.
