Call it bad luck or just being in the right place at the
wrong time but a black man from Georgia was one
of the first to be killed by a gunman at Virgina Tech.
Lots of questions are swirling today and the main one,
were there one or two gunman and was this two seperate
shootings? Read the following article and let us know
what you think of this tragedy.
Armed with two handguns and several clips of ammunition, a gunman went on a rampage at Virginia Tech early Monday killing 32 people on the campus before fatally shooting himself.
The campus newspaper confirmed what EUR first reported this morning; one of the shooter’s first two victims, a resident advisor at West Ambler Johnston dormitory, was African American student Ryan Clark. He was described by the Collegiate Times as a student from Martinez, Ga. who had three majors and a 4.0 GPA.

According to police, the gunman was 23-year-old English major Cho Seung-Hui, a South Korean national whose family lives in Centerville, Va. His shooting spree began at about 7:15 a.m. on the fourth floor of the high-rise coed dorm, killing the resident advisor and another student. About two hours later, the shooter was on the other side of the 2,600-acre campus storming into Norris Hall, a classroom building located about a half-mile away from West Ambler Johnston.
Thirty people were killed and 15 injured in Norris Hall. Police say at least two of the doors to the building were chained from the inside, most likely by the gunman. Some students escaped by jumping out of classroom windows in a panic. The gunman eventually committed suicide by shooting himself in the head.
