VIRGINIA TECH, April 16, 2007, 32 dead

An undergraduate student at the university killed 32 people and wounded 17 others with two semi-automatic pistols, a .22-caliber Walther P22 semi-automatic handgun and a 9 mm semi-automatic Glock 19 handgun. The shootings took place at two locations, a residence hall and an academic building, before the perpetrator turned his own life at the scene. Officials said the perpetrator’s choice of 9 mm hollow-point ammunition increased the severity of the 17 injuries.

Six others were injured jumping out of windows to escape the shooter.
