After hearing the shocking news of the tragedy at Virginia Tech I am extremely taken back. My best friend, who I have known since I was 5 years old attends school in Blacksburg. I cannot begin to describe my emotions as I watch this story develop. Why would any person kill another, ever further what is the motive to kill all these innocent bystanders.
This is a friendly state school campus and to have this tragedy happen is unbelievable. This is the worst mass killing in US history. What motivates anybody to take the life of an innocent person, it is shameful and one of the most painful things I can remember. Most likely this was a student who committed the shootings and I’m sure it was quite easy to bring the weapons on to campus. It is easy to bring weapons on to any campus. At my school at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut they pride themselves on being a safe campus, but I know if a person wanted to bring a weapon to campus they could quite easily.
Thank God my friend is alright and is not harmed, but this event should allow all people to sit back and take a look at procedure for checking and allowing people on campus. After 9/11 security changed greatly for air flights, will it change now at campuses nation wide. That is the million dollar question. As for now my hopes and prayers are with the students, friends and families of those associated with Virginia Tech. We can only hope for answers and hope for the best. What a senseless act of killing it is a sad day and it is a moment I will never forget.
