the news off and on today regarding the Virginia Tech Massacre, in which a lone gunman went and shot dead at least 32 people and wounded many others before killing himself.

The previous worst campus shooting was in 1966, at the University of Texas, Austin. Then, 16 people were killed, including shooter Charles Whitman, who was later discovered to have had a brain tumor. The previous worst mass shooting was in 1991.
