I really can’t bring myself to write much about the shootings in Blacksburg, VA – at Virginia Tech.
While working with students in Chi Alpha at Kent State, I went down to Virginia Tech a few times for Spring Break outreach. This was years ago, but the connection is still present.
After all my years working with students, I find this kind of happening so terribly troubling. For Virginia Tech, this will be their Kent State. I know how the shootings at Kent so many years ago remains in the very place of Kent. It will remain in and through and at Virginia for its continued history.
What can be said? Just pray for those who have died, for their family and friends, for the family of the shooter, and for the community of Virginia Tech.
