 Virginia Tech shooting victim Sean McQuade's condition has been upgraded a second time this week by Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital.
McQuade's condition was listed as good Thursday, according to Carilion spokesman Eric Earnhart.

 McQuade, a 21-year-old mathmatics major from Mullica Hills, N.J., was shot five times in a German class in Norris Hall.

 Another victim, Elilta "Lily" Habtu, 22, went home this week from a Northern Virginia hospital, where she transferred from Roanoke Memorial to be closer to home. Habtu, who was shot in the arm and head in the same German class as McQuade is due to graduate this month.
