Virginia Tech University today became the site for the United State’s deadliest shooting rampage in history. With more than 30 dead and 17 hospitalized an unidentified gunman committed two shootings at the university more than two hours apart before turning the gun on himself and committing suicide.

Two students were killed at the West Ambler Johnson dormitory at 7:30 am EST and 31 more students were killed two hours later at 9:30 am EST at Norris Hall. Campus authorities have been quoted as saying that they thought the shooting at the dormitory was a domestic dispute and that the gunman had fled the campus.

Surviving student who were interviewed complained that they did not receive a warning about the initial school shooting until over two hours after the incident. Several sources have already stated that massive negligence and wrongful death lawsuits will ensue, stating that Virginia Tech University had a duty to warn students of the potential danger much more quickly and that had this occurred some of the deaths in the second shooting may have been avoided.
