------------------------------------------------------
Tonight, Hardball is live at 5 and 7 PM EST with the latest on the Virginia
Tech massacre that left 33 people, including the suspected gunman, dead. The
president of Virginia Tech and Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine (D) will hold a press
conference this evening. We'll bring that to you live when it happens.
Then, MSNBC's Tucker Carlson reports from Blacksburg. He'll tell us what he's
hearing from students and their families. And later in the show, we'll talk to
one of those students, Amie Steele, editor of Virginia Tech's Collegiate Times.
Will a debate over gun control become one of the major issues of 2008? Rep.
Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY), lost her husband in the Long Island railroad shooting
in 1993. She'll be here with Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA), and we'll have more on
the debate from Politico.com's Roger Simon and NBC Chief White House
Correspondent David Gregory. We'll also have a report from Hardball's David
Shuster who has the latest details on the investigation of Cho Seung-Hui, who
has been identified as the shooter.
At 7 PM tonight in a special edition of Hardball, NBC's Brian Williams joins us
from the campus of Virginia Tech to talk about his interview today with
President and Mrs. Bush. We'll have that interview for you.
And, NBC News announced today that MSNBC will telecast the first debates of the
