LinkBLACKSBURG--Officials today expect to begin releasing the names of the 33 people killed and 15 wounded yesterday in two events two hours apart at Virginia Tech. It was the deadliest shooting rampage in U.S. history.
The events brought back memories of a deadly shooting near campus in August of a sheriff's deputy and a security guard.
Most of the students and faculty members killed yesterday were in Norris Hall, a building used mainly for engineering classes and laboratories. The killer had chained shut an undetermined number of doors, forcing some students to leap from second-story windows to escape.
