The VA Tech massacre was in April of 2007. Here's to hoping we don't have another.

Hmmm . . . My gut instinct tells me this will be a minor incident. Lots of Americans carry guns. I really hope it is just a scare.

I really hope I don't have to eat these words later, but this sounds like a false alarm from some scared kids to me.

Virginia Tech was locked down Thursday when three children attending a summer camp said they saw a man holding what looked like a gun, an unsettling report on the campus where a 2007 massacre left 33 people dead

The university issued an alert on its website at 9:37 a.m. Thursday telling students and employees to stay inside and secure doors.

The children said they saw the man walking fast toward the volleyball courts, carrying what might have been a handgun covered by some type of cloth. Police swarmed the area but said they could not find a gunman matching their description.

[...]

On Thursday, officials said they were looking for a 6-foot-tall white man with light brown hair. Officials said the person was wearing a blue and white striped shirt, gray shorts and brown sandals. He was described as clean shaven, according to the university's website.

"Officers responded immediately to the area but found no one matching the description. Police have encountered no other witnesses reporting this individual or anything suspicious," the website alert says.

Wait, a blue and white striped shirt, gray shorts and brown sandals? Seriously?

Fashion Faux Pas!

Obviously we're dealing with mental illness here.
