On Monday with the Virginia Tech shooting, MSNBC.com says it set a new all-time record with 15.3 million unique users in a single day, a 37-percent increase over its previous record high with Katrina. The site also logged 10 million video streams — another site record. MSNBC.com says it surpassed CNN.com in streams served for the day.

Also, MSNBC.com launched a blog dedicated to covering the shooting, On The Scene. Four MSNBC.com staffers are on the ground in Blacksburg covering the story.
