Many seem to think that wielding two 9mm pistols and shooting into a crowd is enough to produce these kinds of numbers. The lone student murdered more than thirty, A NUMBER GREATER THAN THAT OF THOSE WOUNDED. This is better than a 1:1 ratio of killed to wounded.
Compatively, the two heavily-armed Columbine teens only killed 13 compared to 24 injured. This is almost a 1:2 ratio, making today's tragedy twice as damaging.
Charles Whitman killed 14 from his tower in Austin, Texas compared to 31 injured. Granted this is a longer distance, but the man had military training, and these people were getting hit by large-caliber rifle rounds.
Merely shooting into a crowd (especially with 9mm pistols) produces a lot of injured people and not so many fatally wounded. The skill and training necessary to score rapid critical hits on moving targets isn't found just anywhere.
The official story stinks of incredulity. Thoughts?

Could we at least wait a few days, when actual information becomes available before starting with the wild speculation and conspiracy theories, please?

Hmmmm. Very interesting. You gave me something to think about. Whitman was picking them off like flies at first, but then they rapidly found cover. Before the second round of shootings, why did those VT students think it was all over and they were safe? That's what puzzles me ... in addition to what you have just posted as well. Something here just doesn't jell.

This guy seemed to have it easy. walk into classrooms of unsuspecting people and able to mow them down. I saw that he had also chained up the doors to the halls to keep them in. Virginia Tech seems totally unable to protect itself because the 1st shootings seemed like they werent cared about at all.

Increduility? The facts will be weeks if not months coming out. Why not WAIT instead of jumping to conclusions?

It's just so sad that all of those students were prohibited from defending themselves.

I heard that he lined people up, but of course we will not know until later.
