PJM update via Fox broadcast - 32 dead. That number reported here as well. I suspect it'll go up with almost 20 hospitalized.

And still more: ABC is saying 25 29 dead with toll expected to rise. Also video here via ABC main page

Still more via MSNBC

In TV news reports, witnesses described the gunman as a young Asian man.

Two shootings on campus today have left 22 confirmed dead, including students.

Families wishing to reunite with students are suggested to meet at the Inn at Virginia Tech. The university is planning a convocation for tomorrow at noon at Cassell Coliseum for the university community to come together to begin to deal with the tragedy.

Counseling is available in the Bowman Room in the Merriman Center (part of the athletic complex) for employees who seek assistance following todayÕs events.

All faculty and staff have been released and asked to go home effective immediately.

Good lord.

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) -- A gunman opened fire in a dorm and classroom at Virginia Tech on Monday, killing 21 people and wounding another 21 before he was killed, police said.

"Today the university was struck with a tragedy that we consider of monumental proportions," said university president Charles Steger. "The university is shocked and indeed horrified."

Hokie Girl my apologies for the earlier comment. I ment to type in bob but my brain was going faster than I was typing.
To explain the boot comment: Bobinstamford is so stupid that he would walk around in a boot filled with piss even if he had been told and told how to get rid of it. Once again my apologies for the poor typing.
