Virginia Tech Shootings: Prof. Liviu Librescu
Posted on Apr 17, 2007 in National Issues
Liviu Librescu – Hero
The backstory on the Virginia Tech Shootings is filtering out, much too slowly for most of us. Why? And, how do we stop this from happening, ever again?
In hopes that it might prove helpful or comforting to some folk, here’s a compilation of sites that provide worthwhile info on this national tragedy, with the sincerest of condolences to all VT family and friends, from everyone at BloomLegal.
Of special note: the selflessness of Professor Liviu Librescu, still teaching at the age of 76. An Israeli citizen, born in Romania, Professor Librescu baracaded the door to his classroom, allowing students to escape thru a second floor window as Cho shot his way down the hall.
Cho killed Professor Librescu. Professor Librescu saved every single one of his students.
It is an honor even to type Professor Librescu’s name.
