Lets pray its nothing...

Virginia Tech, the site of the worst campus shooting in U.S. history, is on lockdown with reports of a gunman on the campus.

The university relations office confirmed that there is an alert but would offer no further detail. Students received text messages and emails that a gunman is on the campus.

"Person with a gun reported near Dietrick. Stay inside. Secure doors. Emergency personnel responding. Call 911 for help," the alert warned.

On the university's web site, a message was posted at 9:37 a.m. alerting students that there is a gunman near Dietrick Hall. Dietrick Hall is a three floor, more than 92,000 square foot dining facility on the Blacksburg, Va., campus, according to the university's web site. Students have been told to stay indoors.

"Even the construction zone has come to a halt. The whole constructioin crew is gone. There is no traffic, no movement, no anything," Virginia Tech communications officer Lynn Davis told CNN.

Early this morning, three kids attending a camp at the university told authorities that they saw a white male, six feet tall with light brown hair holding what may have been a gun, said Mark Owczarski, a campus spokesman.

The kids said the weapon was covered by a cloth. The man was wearing a blue and white striped shirt, gray shorts and brown sandals, Owczarski said.

In 2007, student Seung-Hui Cho shot and killed 32 students and faculty, along with himself. He wounded 25 others in the shooting rampage that was the worst

if true..what the hell goes on at that school? maybe something like my elementary school, where not sitting still and being quiet earns you a mousetrap on the genitals? that'd merit a shooting spree, imo...
