Virginia Tech Massacre
Monday, April 16, 2007
A crazed gunman went on a shooting rampage on the campus of Virginia Tech this morning, killing 32 people before turning the gun on himself. The shooting is being called the deadliest rampage in modern U.S. history.
The gunman was carrying two handguns and was armed with multiple clips of ammunition when he opened fire at a dorm at 7:15 a.m. killing two people. One of the dead is said to be an ex, while the other was a student advisor. More than two-and-half hours later, 31 people including the gunman were killed in a classroom building. Several other students were injured in the senseless attack. The scene was complete chaos as many students jumped out of windows to save their own lives.
This rampage comes nearly eight years to the day of the Columbine high school shootings in Colorado. Teenage killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold gunned down 12 students and a teacher on April 20, 1999, before killing themselves.
