Reading this just kills me. :(

Daniel O'Neil, 22, of Rhode Island, was a graduate student in engineering who also played guitar and wrote his own songs, which he posted on a website, www.residenthippy.com.

Friend Steve Craveiro said: "He would come home from school over the summer and talk about projects, about building bridges and stuff like that.

"He was pretty much destined to be extremely successful."

Daniel also worked as a teaching assistant at Virginia Tech

I was most touched by this one:


PROFESSOR LIVIU LIBRESCU

Professor Liviu Librescu, Virginia shootings victim

Professor Liviu Librescu, 76, was a Romanian-born Israeli academic in the Engineering Science & Mechanics Department. He was also a Holocaust survivor and moved to Virginia in 1985.

Internationally renowned for his research work, he has been hailed a hero for blocking a doorway to protect his students.

His son Joe said he had received e-mails from several students who said he had saved their lives.

JOCELYNE COUTURE-NOWAK

Jocelyn Couture-Nowak, Virginia shootings victim

Canadian Jocelyne Couture-Nowak was a French instructor. Her husband, Jerzy Nowak, is the head of the horticulture department at Virginia Tech.

She was the mother of two girls.

Jocelyne, who had previously lectured in child development, was described by one Virginia Tech student as "an excellent teacher" who was "extremely nice and understanding".

In the 1990s, she lived in Truro, Nova Scotia, and was instrumental in creating the town's first French-speaking school.





holy shit brinks that's the worst in months
 
I heard about her yesterday; Truro, Nova Scotia is about 35 minutes away from me :(

And I know a lot of people from there.
 
Shit man, that man survided damn Nazis and WW2 to finish being killed by somn damn looser kid with no life.
 
I bet itll break 200 by midnight. It's been on the rise all day.
 
Some right ****ed up people on this planet. :|

RIP to those from the shooting and those from the suicide bomb.
 
Heard an interview on the radio (radio 1 newsbeat) where they talked to the guy who sold him the gun. I agreed with the guy, wasnt his fault for selling someone a gun. Its ridiculously idiotic that someone that age CAN buy one (oh ***k off with the whole 'we have a right to defend ourselves' stuff) but anyway.

They then said that one of the teachers KNEW about all these threats and stuff as he used to write lines of hate and pain or whatever in his work. So she went to the cops about it, and typical no-brain-***k-di**s that cops are said 'theres no evidence to suggest hes going to kill someone'...HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT IF YOURE NOT EVEN GOING TO LOOK INTO IT!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Same.

Really sad.

I agree, that's a horrible way to go, shot to death by some attentionwhoring kid, after fighting and surviving through all that torture.

I mean, he saved all those people, which was heroic and bold on his part, but it was a sad way to go.
 
Information generation...

This was the first school shooting where half the news articles linked to the victim's myspace pages. But then again, I'm not very observant...

This shooting makes me 1.5x as depressed as I was a minute ago.
