More Virginia Tech Shooting Eyewitness Accounts

Darkphetus blog has more eyewitness and second-hand accounts of the VT shootings and some new background on the shooter, apparently a cuckolded lover who mudered his girlfriend in his dorm and then went on a killing rampage looking for her new beau.

"Shooter is an asian male, showed up at his girlfriend’s dorm (it was co-ed) and shot her to death. He wound up shooting the RA as well when he or she attempted to investigate the gunshots. Two hours elapse where the campus is NOT locked down and authorities attempt to search for the gunman. Well gunman appears at an engineering building looking for his (now dead) girlfriend’s new lover, chains the doors shut, and proceeds to go classroom by classroom wearing a bulletproof vest and wielding 2 9-MM pistols opening fire on students and faculty alike. The current count is 32 dead, 29 wounded and the gunman dead to an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound."
