MADISON, Wis. — A group from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Engineering Department was on the Virginia Tech campus during the tragic shootings on Monday, and one professor shared his experience there.
Three UW faculty members — Professor Thomas Lipo, Robert Lorenz and Thomas Jahns — were there with five undergraduate students for an engineering seminar. That building sits adjacent to the one where the second shooting took place, WISC-TV reported.
Lipo had been to Virginia Tech about 20 times in the past 30 years. He said that a day later he is still shaken from what happened.
