As the day ends, we’re left with the horrible numbers of dead and wounded students and faculty. But tomorrow this tragedy will take on a much more painful face as the names and faces of the dead are revealed.
Tonight we know the name of the second victim, Ryan Clark, the RA who was shot at West Ambler Johnston Hall dormitory. Brendan Porter (a student at Virginia Tech) on Anderson Cooper 360 on CNN said that he knew Ryan and knew that he was the one who was shot.
____________
Ryan Clark
UPDATE — confirmed
From a friend of the victim:
Ryan Clark was one of the nicest guys I’ve ever known. He was called Stack by his friends, and he was a great person to be around. He was the 2nd person to die in West AJ. He was an RA in the building. He was an officer in the Marching Virginians and a member of Circle K. He will be missed.
Virginia Tech reports shooting (multiple)
Such a shame- a nice looking kid.
You will not be forgotten. May God help your family find some sense of peace in this time of tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. We will pray for you all. *Hugs, love and comfort* to your family. Rest In Peace
I really feel sorry for the loss of innocent people, I do not feel bad about that *&%$$ man that was so selfish and took the dreams of so young people along with his madness.
