- The Chicago Sun Times is reporting the shooter was in the U.S. on a visa and not a Virginia Tech student

- As of 9pm EST, AP reports 33 dead (including the shooter who apparently killed himself) and 15 injured in the nation's worst mass shooting

- Currently working on getting recordings of 911 calls. Stay tuned by subscribing to MTB's Breaking News feed.

- Unconfirmed rumors suggest the shooter shot himself in the face in an attempt to disfigure his face at the same time committing suicide.

Pressing Questions: Why did it take so long to inform students of the first shooting? What's up with the two-hour time lapse? How was he able to get around and what did he do for those two hours? Also, why were the doors locked in Norris Hall? Apparently, that's why students were jumping from the windows. (This will be updated as facts come in.)
