Eyewitness report from Allyn Hughes, freshman
The Roanoke Times has eyewitness reports from students at Virginia Tech.
One of the reports is from freshman Allyn Hughes:
"When I left the dorm this morning, no one really knew what was going on until I walked outside and there were [about] 20 police cars in the quad. So I knew something was up, but no e-mails had been sent out yet. And when I got to class, people were talking, they were like, 'What happened?,' and no one knew. And then the e-mails started coming. The building that I was in overlooks the parking lot, and everyone was leaving. And that's when we knew that something was seriously happening."
