Gunman killed after deadly Virginia Tech rampage:
A lone gunman is dead after police said he killed at least 21 people Monday during shootings in a dorm and a classroom at Virginia Tech -- the deadliest school attack in U.S. history.
Government officials told The Associated Press that the death toll had grown to 31, including the gunman. CNN is working to confirm the report.
It was not clear if the gunman was killed by police or if he took his own life.
If it's the latter, all I can say is that he should have gone in the opposite order.
All of the Thoughts from Kansas are with the Virginia Tech community.
