My girlfriend's family lives a couple hours from Blacksburg, her brother goes to Virginia Tech.

He almost always had classes at that Engineering building due to his field of study, but he recently changed his major so he wasn't in/near the building today.

My girlfriend called me shortly after I woke up and saw it on the news, she was crying knowing that her brother could have been in there had he not changed his career path.

I've been watching the news and I must say that one step-father from the Columbine incident brought up some good discussions about how the motives behind today's events will be concealed as were the motives for the Columbine massacre. And I agree with the politicians who blame the school, the President of VT and police officer saying they had the crime scene under control... they forgot one thing they didn't have under control -- the shooter.

Anyhow, my condolences to friends or family affected by today.
