A student was stabbed to death last night at Virginia Tech:

BLACKSBURG, Virginia — A graduate student from China has been charged with murder in the fatal stabbing of a female student on the campus of Virginia Tech, the first killing at the American university since a deadly mass shooting in 2007.

An electronic alert system revamped after the massacre warned students to stay in place while police investigated the incident around 7:45 p.m. Wednesday — about half an hour after the suspect was taken into custody. Students were cleared to resume normal activity about an hour later.

The woman, who was also a graduate student but was not identified, was stabbed to death at a cafe in the Graduate Life Center. Police believe she knew the man accused of attacking her, 25-year-old Haiyang Zhu, the school said in a news release. He was charged with first-degree murder and was being held without bond.

    Although it is very concerning that the person responsible for this tradgedy is of Asian decent just like the man…or should I say kid that is responsible for the terrible massacre that killed 33 people almost 2 years ago, you should really educate yourself on the subject before you make racist comments. The innocent girl that this person killed was also Asian…not American. I think this act of violence is extremely horrifying but I seriously doubt that people of Asian decent have something programed into thier brain at birth that says…go kill someone when you get to college. It just sucks that two random acts of violence can turn some American people against an entire race. I would hope that people at VA Tech can move past this 2nd terrible day and not blame every Asian person they see for one persons stupidity.
    …..and no I am not Asian, white as they come actually :)
