FIRE on the Virginia Tech Massacre
FIRE is saddened and horrified by the events at Virginia Tech yesterday, where 32 students and faculty were killed and yet more were injured by a fellow student. Words do not adequately capture the scale and tragedy of the loss. Parents, students, faculty members, administrators, and the Virginia Tech community have our deepest condolences.
