Suspect is not a synomym for perpetrator.  Nor is it one for criminal.  Yes, I have walked those steps, and it breaks my heart all the more that law enforcement, with the concurrence of an academic administration that I would have expected to know better, relaxed their vigilence due to the taking a suspect into custody.  I don't have the pain of wives and parents who lost family that day, but now I have constant fear for my Hokie student daughter.  If anything good can possibly come of this, I hope law enforcement learns:  suspect does not equal criminal.
