A massacre at Virginia Tech
April 17, 2007
The largely residential campus that nestles in the beautiful rolling hills of the Blue Ridge Mountain Range, with 26,000 students, which makes it the largest populated college in the Virginia university system, is a well-regarded science and engineering university -- although not in the same league of CalTech, the California Technology University or any of the Ivy League colleges -- and has a significant number of both India and Indian-American students.
President Bush in a televised message from the Diplomatic Room of the White House, said, "Our nation is shocked and saddened by the news of the shootings in Virginia Tech today."
While students held vigils at university, prayer meetings to remember those who were killed were also held.
