Tech shooting

It seems like we cannot escape horror and tragedy.  Someone murdered and shot here, a child kidnapped there, terrorist attacks....when is it going to end?  I sometimes find myself becoming so desensitized to the news.  It is a sad reality, but it is true.  Today is a tragic day indeed. It almost feels like we are reliving the Virginia Tech horror of 2007.  According to Collegiate Times for Tech (right now), there is a shooter at large.  Two people are confirmed dead, one including a police officer.  There are no further details at this point.

If you are from this area, you know that Blacksburg is roughly 1 hour from Lynchburg, VA.  Due to the close proximity between our campuses, many students, faculty and staff members have loved ones in Blacksburg. The mood at Liberty is heavy...

I cannot image the fear that is penetrating the hearts of these poor students.  Why Virginia Tech?  Why again?  Why do they seem to be targeted?  Is it becoming a popular trend to shoot up universities?  There are so many questions, thoughts and feelings flooding right now.  Lord we ask for your comfort, peace and guidance through these tough times.
