Incredible.

At 7:15AM this morning, Monday April 16th, 2007, a 911 call came to Virgina Tech campus police department reporting multiple victims from a gun shooting. Just two hours later, another shooting spree was reported. Investigators say that both shootings were from the same gunman.

A Picture Essay has already been posted, and a video taken from a cell phone caught some of the gunfire:

University President Steger has also released a statement, available via Podcast.

Just shocking. To imagine the horror these students witnessed. Two separate times. Two hours apart. Same gunman. Wtf.
