Tech shooting victim now in good condition
Virginia Tech shooting victim Sean McQuade's condition has been upgraded for 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 mathematics 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.
