Virginia Tech Shootings

Special news update

Was kinda shock too when zoe told me bout the shooting in Virginia.Cho Seung-Hui, a 23-year-old senior majoring in English. Originated from South Korea to the United States in 1992 and was raised in suburban Washington, D.C. From what I've heard, the 1st two killed victim was a couple, the other two injured. That was 7:15am. Only after two hours (9:30am), others were about the shootings. After rampaging around campus he committed suicide in one of the classroom. Reason of a killing spree is still unknown to the police but rumors said it was because of his ex-gf. No comments.

Sources: Virginia Tech gunman left note

Cho Seung-Hui, the troubled 23-year-old senior from South Korea who investigators believe left an invective-filled note in his dorm room. The note included a rambling list of grievances, according to sources. They said Cho also died with the words "Ismail Ax" in red ink on one of his arms.

Cho had shown recent signs of violent, aberrant behavior, according to an investigative source, including setting a fire in a dorm room and allegedly stalking some women.

Live videos were taken by CNN during the rampage. Everyone was running here and there. Chaotic indeed. Cho was considered one of the 31 people found dead in the campus building.
