Va. Tech students post school documents about mass shooting

BLACKSBURG

A handful of Virginia Tech students have posted about 6,000 pages of documents online that chronicle the mass shootings on campus.

Computer engineering student Justin Harrison led the effort to post the documents released by the university through a Freedom of Information Act request. He says he wanted everyone to be able to read for themselves what happened on April 16, 2007.

The documents include police incident reports and other records of the shootings that left 33 dead, including the shooter.

Harrison and about 10 volunteers worked in shifts for two days to scan boxes full of documents. He said a Tech alumnus donated three high-speed scanners to the effort.
