Now they are saying 22 dead and 28 injured... Such a terrible tragedy!! I am about 2 hours away from there and Blacksburg is just a beautiful small town.. you would have never thought this would happen there...

Oh no!!
Can you believe this world is like this?
Hoping for the best. Let us know.

Hazie

now its 32 dead!! I just can't believe it. What a horrible horrible thing..

copper, who is reporting that number I haven't got anything new since 22 was announced?

ok, the university is now confirming the toll is over 30 now.

The question is why they lifted the 1st lockdwn after the 7:15 shootings and preceeded to hold classes without knowing the whereabouts of the shooter???

Emails are circulating through the county. saying she passed, my heart is breaking

oh,no.........maybe at some point you could do something like Annie did for her friend..........later on.

I lost my son, but even I can't imagine losing a child under those circumstances

I am so sorry to hear that, nicethyme. My prayers are with them.

I just found this on cnn, I had been holding out hope till now

"Emily Jane Hilscher, 19, a freshman majoring in animal and poultry sciences, was known around her hometown as an animal lover. "She worked at a veterinarian's office and cared about them her whole life," Rappahannock County Administrator John W. McCarthy, a family friend, told the AP. Hilscher, of Woodville, Virginia, was a freshman majoring in animal and poultry sciences. She lived on the same dorm floor as victim Ryan Clark, McCarthy said. A friend, Will Nachless, also 19, said Hilscher "was always very friendly. Before I even knew her, I thought she was very outgoing, friendly and helpful, and she was great in chemistry."

Gosh, I was holding out hope for you nicethyme. Sorry.

BUT whoever they were, they were someone's child and each one is a great loss
