Georgia bells for Virginia Tech victims

Georgians are being urged by Governor Sonny Perdue to ring bells across the state at noon today, in memory of the victims at Virginia Tech. Virginia Governor Tim Kaine has designated today as an official Day of Mourning in his state. Kaine sent letters to his fellow governors across the country, asking every state take part for the occasion by ringing bells at noon.

Perdue will be part of a bell-ringing ceremony today at noon in the North Wing of the State Capitol. 33 people died in two separate shootings on the Virginia Tech campus Monday.
