    Its really sad how people, can kill people. We are created, and able to such good, yet we waste ourselves. I thought columbine or the one before that was much worse, this is sad.

  28. maggie says:

    i just think that is so sick 😥 why would anyone do that?i guess it was becuase of his girl friend breaking up with him… 🙁

  29. keaboka says:

    i sent my condolences to evryone who lost somneone they loved. i hope everyone will get better soon. it is so hirrible to lose people we love. but in times like this we need to reflect and see how we could prevenbt things like this from happening. everyday say hello to someone you meet in the street; say hello to show them that you love them becuase that hello can save so many lives. sometimes i question myself; why do people do somany bad things to other people. i never figure that. but everyday we should make all the people around us feel wanted. if there is a weird boy or girl who is always alone and doesn't want to talk to anyone, please talk to them because that can probably save many innocent lives.

  30. Cool4ever says:

    SO SORRY 2 hear about the terrible news. Why couldn't the killer just kill himself/herself and leave everyone else alone???? But I really feel sorry. I wish it didn't happen. 30 people!!! Wow! 😥 😡 🙁 😥 😡 🙁

  31. Cool4ever says:

    And I think it's really nice of the E-W.net staff 2 post this message. Very thoughtful. And that killer can go 2 hell! 😡

    My heart goes out to all families and friends of the victims. I go to college in Indiana and to know that there is a shooting happening at VT states away from me while I was in class. I am sure that all of the college students across the country and around the world were freaked out. I really, really hope that the gov't can learn something from this horrible tragedy and really do something to prevent this from happening again. Thanks to all and May God Bless all of you!

    Thank you for giving your condolences on this event. Two of my brothers attend Virginia Tech, but thankfully neither were hurt. Our family lives only a few hours from the college and it hit very close to home, but are glad that so much unity has come from the event.

    It's so polite of you to post this message. Thank you. I am thinking of everyone who lost someone. This shouldn't be happening…

  47. McUther18 says:

    I don't know what makes people do things like that, but it's a petty, that they aren't stoped before the bastards makes the kills… I'm from denmark, we never have such horrible pccations, but I think that has something to do with the fact, we're not allowed to have guns… I'm sorry for all the deaths.

  48. Lorine says:

    It's horrible! :???:I think to the family and the friends of the victims.They must be very sad.

    My deepest and kindest toughts go to all the family victims…hold on,justice will be done!
