Virginia Tech shooting

Virginia Tech shooting

On December 8 Ross Ashley, 22, shot and killed Deriek W. Crouse before turning the gun on himself on the Virginia Tech main campus in Blacksburg. I was on the scene shooting for my paper and USA Today. By the time I got there all was quiet and VT President Charles Steger, bottom, right, was giving a press conference. 


I wasn't here in 2007 when a student went on a shooting rampage killing 33, but coming from Kent State where four were shot in 1970 I can understand what impact violence has on a college campus.
