It was simply beyond imagining. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/07/virginia-tech-should-release-files-related-cho-massacre Mon, 21 Jul 2008 22:10:05 -0400 BLACKSBURG Virginia Tech says some records about the April 2007 campus shootings that left 31 people dead will remain secret. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/07/va-tech-keeps-some-shooting-records-secret Mon, 21 Jul 2008 06:48:56 -0400 RICHMOND Virginia will pay $100,000 to each of the families of 24 of the 32 people killed during the Virginia Tech shooting massacre last year, under the terms of a settlement approved by a Richmond Circuit Court judge Tuesday. http://hamptonroads.com/2008/06/judge-approves-settlement-va-tech-victims-families Tue, 17 Jun 2008 14:25:50 -0400 RICHMOND Financial settlements in the 2007 Virginia Tech shootings negotiated between the state and many of the families of victims are expected to be reviewed today by a Richmond Circuit Court judge.
