in Canada, out of all gun related deaths, 80% of them are of suicide, 18% are of homicide in nature, but in the US, 38% of all gun related deaths are homicide

I think they will put more pressure on video/computer games after this...they have already starting talking about this angle on how sociopaths rehearse via violent random killing games like GTA and such.

My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this tragedy in one or another.

Glad the members here are alright.

God bless.

Absolutely mind boggling... Tech will never be the same. Feeling so sad for the families of those innocent victims.

I can only imagine what the parents of the victim must feel right now...


But what i'm wondering is, what the parents of the shooter is feeling?

Sorry for the victims.
It's so upsetting to lose so many lives.

Right, we just dont know at this point. My asian friends are pretty pissed off that this guy would drag all asians down in the public eye. Fortunately most people have the sense that this could have been any student, but Im sure the race issue will get played up.

There was even a hoax by a VT student posing with guns on his website to attract attention...boy did he get it!
