One of my old best friends goes to V Tech. It took FOREVER to be able to get through to his phone, the cellular networks were so busy out there. Luckily he is ok, but he was about two buildings away from one of the shootings. Unfortunatly, one of his friends took a hit to the arm, but he'll be fine. The thing that really made the impact of the severity set in was hearing my buddies voice, I've never heard him so shaken up before. To top it off the guy is a tough ****, he was an Army Ranger and on his way to SF before a medical discharge put him out of the service. For me hearing his distress and knowing his backround and how tough he is made it really disturbing for me.
