No, someone went there and opened fire in a dorm and a classroom. 33 people including the gunman have died. It's such a horrible tragedy. Gunman, 32 others killed in Va. shooting - Yahoo! News

Oh, no! It's so terrible! I missed evening news today... What do they do to poor students at the universities that they start to behave like this?!

 Shocking and sad story....too many people died in this shooting. Quite unbelievable
I think the shooter may have been under pressure....exams are going on. but I'm not sure |

there's even suspicion that it could be a faculty member of Asian studies. we'll have to wait for more details to be released. This is an insane one!

....ok I know that the asians can go mad about their studies as I am asian myself. And asian parents put their children under pressure since elementary school to train them to suceed in university and get very disappointed in failure...could that be a cause for this type of action....

Until more is known, it's impossible to try and figure out why somebody would do something as horrific as the shooting today.
