A former LJ/current Tumblr friend of mine goes there. Waiting to hear back from her. :/ CNN and MSNBC are not talking about it. Maybe they did earlier when I wasn't watching? Idk.
ETA: She hasn't contacted me yet, but she's probably fine. I was just worried b/c I thought it happened ON campus and I know she's been working in the bookstore.
ETA2: She's fine!
