Virginia Tech police said "we had reason to believe there was a need to secure the president's office" but would not elaborate.

"It's over."

State police and an armored truck also responded to Burruss Hall, next to Norris Hall.

6. Reporting at its finest
I was a little bemused that the CNN morning team was sitting directly across the street from all of this, wondering what was going on. Couldn't someone get up off their chair and ask?

Something was going on, because later a reporter tried to talk to someone coming out of the building and all that person said was that he was told to leave by the police.

Really scary.

7. Agreed
There's always some jackass who assumes they're funny and it makes them feel special that they've done something soooooo clever.

I hope they find this f**k.

10. Maybe the whacko who was making the bomb threats is still loose?
or some other whacko with Munchhausen Syndrome? The fucking media circus is causing this I'd wager.

Damn, what is happening there? :cry:

15. i dont think so at all, i asked.
It was ridiculous of you to bite at some one for asking something.

the only thing ive ever heard of this little known disease is the insanity that mothers who have it do to their child. I thought it was a hormonal/postpartum type thing..

dont be so quick to be an asshole, i was asking somthing. Post some links or some guidance etc instead of just a snarky comment and no text.
