<p>My son was a freshman at VT when the shootings happened. I started hearing the reports on the TV that morning and have never felt such fear in all my life. Thank God, my son answered his cell on my first attempt. (Often he didn’t have service due to those Hokie Stone dorms). He didn’t even know what was going on until I told him. These things aren’t supposed to happen on college campuses. I am so sorry for those of you who know someone involved in this tragedy. It sure brings back some terrible memories…</p>
