In the past week we have had to see on TV and read in the newspaper about a story in which a "loner" named Cho Seung Hui went on a rampage in Virginia Tech, then we have had to rememeber some of the worst days of human action, with the 19th being the Oklahoma City Bombing, and then ending with today when two students (Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold) at a school not to far from where I live went into Columbine High School where they killed 13 kids. It scared me because I was at home on that day and it was not that far away, my brother has a friend who was a Juinor and Clombine that day, and he was shocked and outraged when he heard of the VT shootings. All I rememeber him saying over and over and over was what is it with this week and death. I give my heart out to every one that lost someone on April 20, 1999, April 19, 1995, and sadly the newest one April 16, 2007.

I remember reading a book about Columbine, and thinking: "This has to be ficton. Why would anyone do this?". And then it happened to VT, where I live near, and it was scary.

From my house you could here the gunfire from inside. The cops were given the order to stay outside and watch the doors and windows, if they went in they could have saved more people. Every now and then, we could here just this allout burst of gunfire, and we were later told that both gun men were fireing at the cops outside, just before they killed themselves.
