Again!!! This time it happend I believe near my wife. It happened at 7pm and she finally called me at 10pm. I have been freaking out ever since I got a call from VA Tech but not her. She is at the police station and cannot sat anything. Just that she is okay. I don't know if I will have to pick her up and how she is dealing with this.

Just really freaked. When are people going to quit killing each other? Barely over a year since the last 34.

From what I can piece together from her it was but a hairs breath away from her.

Thanks for all you support. I don't know how this is going to affect her once it sinks in. She is mighty tough .

So many lives ruined or traumatised......the victim, her family, the assailant, his family and innocent bystanders and their families...ie Eric and his wife.
Such senseless crap.
Take good care of her Eric, and yourself, it must be terrifying and unsettling to witness such a thing.

Thats such a horrid thing. I'm glad to hear your wife's OK. It's pretty traumatic though. My wife worked at a Drs office where an employee came back from lunch & shot up the place, killing the office mgr, then taking her own life. Senseless

Sorry to hear about this whole thing, Eric. Thank God your wife is okay after all. Hopefully this won't affect her too badly. I cannot begin to imagine what I'd be like if it was my wife in that situation.....
