peregrinerose 0 #8 April 16, 2007 Yep, it was Jamie, that I talked to. He said he'd been in touch with all of the jumpers and everyone is fine. He told me he'd had about 30 phone calls about this and is feeling very loved right now. Do or do not, there is no try -Yoda Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lawrocket 3 #15 April 16, 2007 Latest news on yahoo is 22 dead, including the shooter.I've known a LOT of people from Virginia Tech. I remember last year about the guy who shot a couple of people hiding out at the Virgina Tech Campus. This is horrible news. My wife is hotter than your wife.

BillyVance 34 #16 April 16, 2007 Quote This is probably the 1st time I've heard of this type of random shooting at a university. It's happened before... The most infamous incident was the University of Texas shootings back in the 1960's I think. There's a link above in another post referencing that."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are they saying the VT killer was a student? I didn't see any references to that. By the way, a look at the link in an earlier post seems to indicate that Charles Whitman was a student at UT... whether he was or not at the time of the shooting, it doesn't say."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lindercles 0 #22 April 16, 2007 I wasn't around in the 60's when Whitman did his thing at UT, but I can tell you that over 40 years later that incident is still very much a part of our collective conscience (see here). My heart goes out to everyone involved, and everyone associated with VT. This is the sort of thing that sticks with you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumpjunkie 0 #25 April 16, 2007 Quote This is probably the 1st time I've heard of this type of random shooting at a university. There was an incident a year or two back where several players from a basketball team were assaulted and shot. Luckily none of them were killed. I think it happened in the northeast. Drexel University, maybe? Tubing, so easy a caveman can do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
