Bismillah and Salaams,
The blue material is from a member of the MSA at VT.
Assalamu alaikum everyone,
I would like to share with you some additional information that I received from a colleague in the CEE Dept. This colleague of mine is the supervisor of a graduate student who was with Waleed in the class and survived the massacre. I should mention that the description is graphical so I apologize in advance.
The student mentions that Waleed saved his life and wants to convey this to Waleed's family. Apparently, the murderer came into Norris 206 and shot Dr. Loganathan and a number of students injuring Waleed. Waleed was sitting in the front row where he always sat. Everyone jumped to the floor after hearing the gun shots including the person narrating the story. The murderer then left Norris 206 to go to another classroom.
The student that narrates the story was not shot but pretended to be dead and lay on the ground beside Waleed who at that time was only injured. The muderer then re-entered the classroom and was checking for alive victims. He had approached the person narrating the story who mentions that his heart was pounding out of fear. Waleed at that instant made a movement to distract the murderer's attention and was shot for the second time. At that time Waleed died and the murderer left the narrator to search for other victims.
Ina Lillahi wa ina Ilayhi rajeoon. We ask Allah to forgive Waleed all his sins and grant him paradise.
Wassalam,
Hesham.

Assalam Alykum wa Rahmat Allah wa Barakatuh
I was just informed by brother Ahmed Kamal-Jazah Allah khair- that brother Waleed was buried in Zagazig(his home town)
and that everything went smoothly.
May Allah have mercy on his soul
Fee Aman Allah

Abu Mujahid, your sentiments are profoundly distasteful, wishing this
young person had not committed the bravest and most generous of all actions by saving another person's life. You may be a Muslem, but you are a callous human being. Sister Herjihad, thank you for this very moving thread. I am struck dumb by these events. |

Yes, Duende, you are correct. There is a Bible verse very befitting this brave and heroic act which Brother Waleed performed, "greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for a friend." John 15:13 I cannot discuss the events at VTech...they are too much to grasp. God help us all. Edited by Patty |
