The news is just coming through of a student massacre in Virginia Tech University in Virginia, US. The full facts are not yet known, but it appears that there may well have been two separate shooting incidents on the faculty within hours of each other, and a death toll in excess of 31, plus wounded. It appears to have been the work of one man, who had 'emotional' issues.

Firstly: My commiserations to any family, or friends of the dead, or
injured who may stumble across this blog. It’s both a national and
personal tragedy on a scale that it’s hard for the unaffected to
imagine. Coming as it did on the 8th anniversary of the Columbine High
School massacre in Colorado (surely no coincidence), it’s a particularly
vivid reminder of the darker side to the American dream.
