VT Campus Minister Trying to Account for Students

Tamie Ross / The Christian Chronicle:
More than 60 campus ministry students of the Blacksburg, Va., church were among those on the Virginia Tech University campus when a gunman opened fire early Monday, killing an estimated 32 people and wounding at least 32 more, before he shot himself to death. Officials say it is the deadliest campus shooting rampage in history. At noon local time on Monday, Seth Terrell, campus minister at Blacksburg, spoke with The Christian Chronicle while monitoring e-mail and answering his cell phone. Terrell said he had heard directly from or at least received some information about half of his group. However, jammed phone lines meant that news was trickling in slowly.
