Prayers & Thoughts For Virginia Tech

On behalf of the Clay nation, CDD sends our prayers and thoughts for the students, staff and faculty of Virginia Tech & State University. A horrific shooting rampage took place earlier today at VT's campus in Blacksberg, VA killing 33 people including the gunman according to a statement from the University:

Two shootings on campus today have left 33 dead. Thirty-one, including the gunman, died at Norris Hall; two died at West Ambler Johnston Hall. Fifteen other victims from Norris are being treated at area hospitals.

Update 4/17: We have learned that the CB's msstrombolisir's friend Caitlin Hammaren was among the 33 people killed. Hammaren was a sophomore in international studies and French. You can send msstrombolisir your thoughts and prayers through her Clayboard profile.
