VIRGINIA SHOOTING AND GUN CONTROL

CNN announces that Virginia Tech starts to return to normalcy after the shooting rampage. Last week there was a rampage made against students of Virginia Tech, Blacksburg. 32 students were shot deadly and 15 wounded by a Seung-Hui Cho, the student of this Tech. After shooting, he killed himself.
This week the shooter’s family made an announcement to press where they made a sorry for all families of victims. Sun-Kyung Cho, his sister, said: “He has made the world weep. We are living in a nightmare. Our family is so very sorry for my brother’s unspeakable actions. It is a terrible tragedy for all of us.”
Millions people in all over the world were shocked for such a tragedy and every state across the nation sounded bells and had moments of silence for the victims.
Police announce that Cho had two guns and fired 225 bullets. Each victim was hot for at least three times.
Nobody can say why Cho did so, police investigate any possible versions, checking his and others students PCs and cells.
The headmaster of Virginia Tech said to the students that they can go back to study or they can take current grade without finishing it. Most of students want to go back to the routine and everyday studies.
“In a sign of life slowly moving toward some sense of routine, the first athletic event since the massacre was held Friday evening on the sports-crazy campus, when Virginia Tech and the University of Miami took the field for a baseball game.
Before the game started, the crowd at English Field observed 32 seconds of silence, one second for each of Cho's victims.” – the AP reports.
The Virginia Tech campus massacre may ignite a national debate over gun control. Republicans and Democrats do not agree about this control. Because of 2008 years president election, there are many different opinions and even too “sweat” talks and debates about guns. One part is in a side of people who were victims or their relatives were victims and want to get striker gun control and harsher punishments for crimes, which were made in use of a gun.
On the other hand, there are many people, who scare to became a victim or about their relatives and want to hold a gun for protection. For such a people represents other part of government. So we should wait for new election and hope that the new president and new government would be wise enough to grant suitable legislation to control gun usage.

I like your summary. It is quite easy to understand, but in my opinion, it is too long. There must be only the main ideas of employment law.
