22 or 33?

Kill 32 then kill himself, so total 33 dead.
All started with a quarrel with his girlfriend. This guy is from china, according to the chinese news.

Managed to contact my friend as soon as I woke up this morning. He's alright but his friend was one of those shot and is currently in ICU...

The US seriously need to ban sale of guns to the public.

BBC is not the local news agency. It happend in US not UK.

The latest CNN report stated 33 dead including the gunman. I believe this is the most accurate current figure.

 

[kelccm]

people kill people :devil:

guns do not kill people.

Remove the means. Make it harder for people to kill. Guns will give you a false sense of power.

 

[xray]

ST reported 22 in the papers cos it was still early. People died later, so now higher numbers. Maybe check STi?

 

[htthach]

anyone knows why ?

ST says 22, so sad, why allow gun in the first place.

Guns are illegal on Virginia Tech's grounds. Didn't do anything.

Gun control isn't the solution to the problem anyway. Culture and demographics play a much bigger part. Sweden and the Netherlands are two countries relatively lax with gun control, yet have much lower crime rates than in the US.
