Anyone with internet or tv news access today must have seen the reports about the VA Tech shootings on TV. The incident is now the worst school shooting in the U.S., surpassing the shootings in 1966 and 1999 at Texas and Columbine, respectively. My heart goes out to the families affected by this tragedy, I dunno what I would have done in an situation like that one. It's times like these in where there are no answers to the questions of "why" that we can only trust in the sovereignty of God.

I don't usually post up current events on my blog, but there are a few reasons why I wanted to blog about it. I won't go into them all until more news statements are released, but last night I was on Wikipedia researching past school shootings. Specifically, the sniper shootings that occurred here at the University of Texas back in 1966. I spent an hour reading about the police reports, witness accounts, and even found a recent interview by one of the last people to see Charles Whitman (the sniper) alive before he began his rampage. So oddly enough, this morning I wake up and read about VT on CNN. Like my friend said over IM, "We live in a nutso world."
