Grandma's House

Here we go. I knew from listening to this afternoon's "press conference" (pronounced inquisition) that this kind of story would be forthcoming:

A gunman massacred 32 people at Virginia Tech in the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history Monday, cutting down his victims in two attacks two hours apart before the university could grasp what was happening and warn students.

This story is ridiculous. The authorities have said from the start that the original shooting in the dorm was thought to be a domestic situation. Why in the world would they think some maniac would go to the other side of the campus and shoot up several classrooms? They aren't really even sure it was the same guy! Reporters are so quick to blame someone besides the gunman they don't stop to think. As the head of the school said this afternoon, at the time of the original shooting, more than 50 percent of the school's students weren't even on campus. Only about 9,000 students live on campus, and how were they supposed to lock down people on the road? Seriously. You've got to give the authorities time to investigate the situation before you go assigning blame. This story makes it sound like he was shooting up the school for a solid two plus hours. The shootings in Norris Hall happened two hours after the shootings in the dormitory. Get a grip, people. Let's find out what the evidence has to say before we start stringing people up. There may still be the original shooter on the loose. Give them time to figure it out.
