Cell Phones, Web Cam Record Shooting at Virginia Tech

Students used cell phone cameras and a professor used a Web cam to record vignettes of the tragedy Monday on the Virginia tech campus, where a gunman went on a rampage that left 33 dead and more than 20 injured in the worst mass shooting in US history. KWTX reports.

KWTX publishes the video taken by a student and his cameraphone - which has been all over television news. But when you click on the link for this video, you are greeted by a humorous Pontiac car commercial for a convertible. Appalling, offensive and such a lack of sensitivity for the lives of so many students lost in this terrible trajedy.
