It’s another sad day at Virginia Tech. Yes, yet again our quiet, peaceful community has been visited by senseless, painful violence.
It was just two years ago that a gunman opened fire and killed 32 and then himself in the worst act of campus violence in American history.
Last year, a foreign exchange student chopped off the head of a fellow classmate in a campus dining room. The details of this incident were horrifying.
And this week, a hiker found two VT sophomores shot to death 12 miles from campus. By all accounts the students, who were dating, were kind, smart, responsible young adults. They were active in their church and in a campus Christian group.
They were good people. And so were the family and friends we lost on April 16th and the young woman brutally killed last year.
How do you explain this? Why does this keep happening to Virginia Tech? I rarely find myself without an answer. But, without question, this is one of those times. I’m lost and it doesn’t feel good.
My prayers are with the families of David Metzler and Heidi Childs.
