Virginia Tech Shooting Rampage Shocks America
Deadliest Non-terrorist Attack in US History Leaves 30+ Dead; Dead Include Gunman
The incident is the deadliest shooting incident in US history, surpassing a 1991 shooting in Killeen, TX, which left 24 dead.
The shooting occured in the West Ambler Johnson dormitory and Norris Hall engineering buildings on campus. According to police, the gunman had been heavily armed and began shooting up the hallway in the room in a search for his girlfriend. According to a woman speaking on CNN, the gunman had an altercation with her, and when her resident advisor came in to intervene, the gunman shot both of them. He then continued his rampage, firing into the air and inside classrooms, and in the end, the incident became the largest incident ever. The shooting returns the thoughts of the massacre at Columbine High School, which left 13 students and the two gunmen dead eight years ago this Friday.
The university was on lockdown through April 17, with classes cancelled and the campus evacuated.
