Fox news is talking to students and looking for people to blame for this shooting. Fox news isn't looking for the news they are trying to make news to show how Virgina Tech. and the campus surcurity are to blame. What do you think?

God bless the dead.

During the press conference people kept referring to an "event" that occurred in the fall at VT. What happened?

I have been watching the coverage and the first thing that comes to mind is that some of these people who we need to hear from seem as though they dont know what is going on.It looks as though they may fear reproccusions from saying the wrong things meanwhile the parents of the students involved are placed on hold.

None of our whacked out liberal friends seem to remember that Clinton fired several federal prosecutors. That, of course was in the middle of travelgate, filegate, whitewater, the campaign finance fiasco, the health care fiasco, the vince foster coverup, the montana land grab, jennifer, paula, monica, and so on. Its easy to see how the firings got "lost" here, but I was wondering, after hearing Clinton floundering on what is...is, i taxed you to much and i did not have sex with that woman, if anyone could remember what he admitted to about the firings. this one ought to be priceless...i can hear the liberals whining now and the neat part is they cant blame this one on bush...LMFAO.

didnt the term "Ho's" basically get its origin in rap music ? and most of the rappers are black of course (the ones that arent black need to find a new line of work...please we saw enough with vanilla ice)

so let me get this straight ... rappers can coin a term and then if someone else uses it , its not cool , its so uncool in fact hes got to be fired

if there is anyone (or any group) here that seems responsible for a problem ... i would say its the rappers for generating an atmosphere where any and all women or girls can be referred to as "hos" and/or bitches - and the only other group who shares the blame are all the millions (and millions) of people who buy into that way of thinking by buying the albums and adopting the lingo

why does this guy Imus have to be the scapegoat for this culture wide phenomenon (as shameful as it may be) (the phenomenon that is) - and saying the rappers speak only of the world they grew up in seems a very poor reason to refer to women like that

Like the recent one at Virginia Tech? How often do you see films in theaters, for example, where guns and killing are a major attraction. When I see young kids wearing Scarface on a t-shirt or view the actual content of games like Grand Theft Auto, it makes me wonder it's value at all.

Gunman kills 21 on Virginia Tech campus

A gunman opened fire in a dorm and classroom at Virginia Tech on Monday, killing 21 people in the deadliest campus shooting in U.S. history. The gunman was killed, but it was unclear if he was shot by police or took his own life.

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

The university reported shootings at opposite sides of the 2,600-acre campus, beginning at about 7:15 a.m. at West Ambler Johnston, a co-ed residence hall that houses 895 people, and continuing about two hours later at Norris Hall, an engineering building.

Some but not all the dead were students. One student was killed in a dorm and the others were killed in the classroom, Virginia Tech Police Chief W.R. Flinchum.

The name of the gunman was not released. It was not known if he was a student.

Up until Monday, the deadliest campus shooting in U.S. history took place in 1966 at the University of Texas, where Charles Whitman climbed to the 28th-floor observation deck of a clock tower and opened fire. He killed 16 people before he was gunned down by police. In the Columbine High bloodbath near Littleton, Colo., in 1999, two teenagers killed 12 fellow students and a teacher before taking their own lives.

After Monday's shootings, all entrances to the campus were closed. The campus was to reopen Tuesday but classes were canceled.

The university set up a meeting place for families to reunite with their children at the Inn at Virginia Tech. It also made counselors available and planned a convocation for Tuesday at the Cassell Coliseum basketball arena.

After the shootings, students were told to stay inside away from the windows.

"There's just a lot of commotion. It's hard to tell exactly what's going on," said Jason Anthony Smith, 19, who lives in the dorm where shooting took place.

Aimee Kanode, a freshman from Martinsville, said the shooting happened on the 4th floor of West Ambler Johnston dormitory, one floor above her room. Kanode's resident assistant knocked on her door about 8 a.m. to notify students to stay put.

"They had us under lockdown," Kanode said. "They temporarily lifted the lockdown, the gunman shot again."

"We're all locked in our dorms surfing the Internet trying to figure out what's going on," Kanode said.

Madison Van Duyne, a student who was interviewed by telephone on CNN, said, "We are all in lockdown. Most of the students are sitting on the floors away from the windows just trying to be as safe as possible."

Police said there had been bomb threats on campus over the past two weeks by authorities but said they have not determined a link to the shootings.

It was second time in less than a year that the campus was closed because of a shooting.

In August 2006, the opening day of classes was canceled and the campus closed when an escaped jail inmate allegedly killed a hospital guard off campus and fled to the Tech area. A sheriff's deputy involved in the manhunt was killed on a trail just off campus.

The accused gunman, William Morva, faces capital murder charges.

As a black man I am personally sick of people like Al and Jesse representing us,

It would seem that there are so many others that represent us and do a much better job but these to have become the main focus of media attention

Is it because the media can gennerally count on them to say somthing idodic about vertually everything ?????

why dont they apologize for thier haste to judge those duke guys, and the comments that they made,

Isnt that just as bad as tageting a womens basket ball team and saying negitive things in referance to them ???

Case in point Harry Belefonte(I think I mispelled that) has been an advocate and activist that is always well spoken and really gets very little attention

we have a list of people that represent our generation that are not give the proper time and attention by the media so why is that these two are givin so much Face time ????

Washington DC probably has more cameras than any other city in the world. Somehow, there is not 1 picture or Video of the plane that crashed into the Pentagon. The only pic I have seen is from a gatehouse outside the Pentagon, and there is no way to tell what it was. ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER CAMERAS AT THE PENTAGON OR ELSEWHERE THAT CAPTURED THIS JET FLYING INTO DC?
