April 3, 200917 yr Thoughts and prayers would be appreciated. It's the lead story on several of the major news outlets (cnn and fox news).
April 3, 200917 yr Live blog http://www.pressconnects.com/apps/pbcs.dll...3028&Ref=AR Local Message Board http://bcvoice.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=17353 Some are saying the suspect may be on the run now and up to 13 people may be dead.
April 3, 200917 yr Author BU, meanwhile, is not cancelling or amending any classes at its downtown campus.
April 3, 200917 yr Author Apparently they've got a translator to talk to the shooter. Conflicting reports on if he's in the building or at large. Downtown is still on lockdown.
April 3, 200917 yr Author Most outlets are still reporting 5 shot and 41 hostages. Poor Binghamton. Nothing good seems to happen to this area.

That blog and message board keep hinting that many more may have been shot. Hoepfully they are wrong. Im trying to get ahold of a friend of mine whose brother is a cop but i havent heard back yet.

I feel like they are just being unbearably slow updating stuff. Ugh, this totally sucks.
April 3, 200917 yr Someone at work just got a call from someone and she said they have arrested two asian men and there may be up to 16 dead.
April 3, 200917 yr I'm amazed they were able to arrest these men alive. Not often do these situations end without the perpetrators killing themselves.

Havent heard but apparently the police have confirmed to the governor's office that there are 13 dead inside the building. So it could rise depending on what happens to those taken to the hospital.

April 3, 200917 yr QUOTE (Soxy @ Apr 3, 2009 -> 02:29 PM) Have you heard anything about the who or why? No i keep hearing conflicting reports from a couple of places. Hard to tell what is rumor and who actually has connections so I dont want to post things that are not true.

April 3, 200917 yr Author NYT is reporting that one of the gunmen is dead. Others are what was taken out in cuffs?
April 3, 200917 yr Author Sounds like it was a single shooter. The two people who were taken out in plastic cuffs are not suspects and there was no foot chase.
April 3, 200917 yr Author 14 confirmed dead (gunman "probably" among them) per the chief of police 4 more in critical condition Alleged gunman was recently laid off from IBM. Went into a classroom of immigrants taking the citizenship test and opened fire. Gov Paterson said "there is still an American dream."
April 3, 200917 yr The gunmen has been identified as a 41 year old Asian male, Jiverly Yoong. I wonder what are the circumstances behind his firing at IBM. If he had an aggenda against immigration it would have been sort of shortsighted to attack those who are legally seeking citizenship.

I'm guessing he wasn't thinking too clearly.

I wonder what are the circumstances behind his firing at IBM. he was probably just laid off in a cost cutting measure. i know IBM has been making job cuts and sending some of it's operations out of the US.
