10 years ago today, the nation mourned after a shooting at Virginia Tech left 32 dead and dozens wounded.
Our thoughts remain with the entire Virginia Tech community.
That tragedy helped spark a movement to strengthen our gun laws and keep guns from falling into the wrong hands. Together, we renew our commitment to turn our grief into a force for good—and, alongside Virginia Tech’s survivors and families, to fight for a safer Commonwealth and country.
