number escalated.

1 dead, 17 injured .. possible multiple gunmen.



On the Web site, Tech reported the shootings at opposite ends of the 2,600-acre campus at West Ambler Johnston, a co-ed residence hall that houses 895 people, and said there were "multiple victims" at Norris Hall, an engineering building.

That really sucks about the death, hopefully the wounded survive.
You're friends and family are gonna be fine, what are the odds that they are one of the few that got shot.
ps I'm not trying to belittle the situation, i'm just trying to be positive.
