Update: Virginia Tech massacre
5:58 Wednesday, April 18, 2007
In the worst mass killing America has seen, it has been revealed that the gunman who killed 32 people at Virginia Tech had been referred for psychological counselling by one of his teachers. Worried about "disturbing" aspects of his work, South Korean Cho Seung-Hui demonstrated increasingly obsessive behaviour, and even wrote a play in which a young man is murdered by his stepfather.
He was known among his fellow students as 'the question mark kid' after putting the mark on the register instead of his name. Cho murdered two people in a dormitory before killing 30 more in four classrooms and a stairwell two hours later.
He then shot himself.
Virginia Tech students wrote messages on an condolence board where a candle light vigil was later held. Thousands of students and staff were joined by local people for a candlelit vigil on Tuesday evening. President Bush told a memorial service: "This is a day of sorrow for the entire nation."
More pics after the jump!
So sad, U.S is in morning for VT. God be with them.
oops....mourning
Two U.S soldiers died yesterday . They were in thei early twenties . I know one was 21 yrs old .
They saw shooting like this 24/7 .
Most of our troops are on their third or fourth tour of duty .
But our reality like news media would rather go on about VA Tech . Saying thigs like " This is the worst shooting in U.S history ! Encouraging the next freak to go out , buy a gun to do harm to innocent ppl . Trying to out do the spoiled little crazy bastard Cho Sung !
not sure how you can compare the 2 but okay....
Not sure how you can compare the two ( shaking head ) young ? needless death(s) ??
Why would you guys put your watermark on pictures that you didn't even take? Most of those photos are from their personal myspace account. That's pretty shitty!
Ms. K...those were my exact thoughts (except for the "shitty" comment).
Even if they were SPLASH photos, I'd have respect for the individuals and leave off the watermark.
BTW, that picture of the girl in the glow of her candle is one that could symbolize the entire tragedy.
ACO - You obviously have no idea what you are talking about……
R.I.P. Our (Canadians) prayers are with you. Love your friends from the North.
