Va. Tech advises Army on Texas shootings response

Virginia Tech administrators have been advising Pentagon officials on how to respond to the mass shootings at Fort Hood.

University spokesman Mark Owczarski (oh-ZAR-skee) says that Virginia Tech President Charles Steger (STEE-ger) and about a dozen administrators had a teleconference with Pentagon officials Friday.

He says Pentagon officials asked for guidance on how to respond to the shooting spree at the Texas military base.

The Virginia Tech officials dealt with the worst mass shooting in modern U.S history in April 2007. The campus shootings left 33 dead, including the student gunman, and about two dozen injured.

Owczarski says the questions about Fort Hood ranged from how to help the families of victims to advice on accommodating large numbers of news media.
