<p>Sad beyond words. I study and work as a TA and teach undergrads. To shatter the peace of their student years is a horrible, horrible crime. My heart goes out to the 2 victims and any other effected people.</p>
<p>2 families destroyed. Some mother sent her son or daughter to study in the Fall, only to get a coffin back before the Xmas break. That's just not right. </p>
<p>RIP.</p>
<p>The second person was the shooter, so I’m not sure if that makes it better or worse for the family (is there really a better or worse in situations like this) but is certainly better for the community at large.</p>
<p>Class rooms are turning out to be slaughter house these days. Government should do something about it.</p>
<p>^That’s a heavy overstatement.</p>
<p>Especially seeing as how the two involved in this case were a policeman and the shooter. The shooter did not harm a student in a classroom.</p>
<p>Also, schools have done a lot more to have safety precautions. If anything, they said that this shooting just proved that security measures have been stepped up.</p>
<p>But alas, my prayers and thoughts are with both families. What a horrible thing to go through on both sides of the equation.</p>
<p>was it ever determined why these 2 guys killed themselves? (the other one being Cho in '07)</p>
<p>My school sent an email out about this, talking about it and reminding us to update our emergency contact info in our online accounts.</p>
