“I saw all the cop cars. I heard someone say that there were shots fired and I immediately tried to get out of that area. I heard shots fired and everyone ran across the drill field and I started running to my dorm … I think a lot of people here are still in shock and I don’t think we really comprehend what has gone on.” Virginia Tech junior Alex Senonite on CNN

“We were just standing there on the steps and the cops showed up with their guns and they got on the megaphone and were making announcements. It was really windy and it was really hard to hear them … Eventually it was 11:15 or 11:30 and we were on the second floor in a classroom watching the news and these cops came up with rifles and stuff and they told us that there had been a bomb threat in some other buildings.” Student Jason Piatt on CNN
