Yesterday all anyone could talk about was the shooting that happened at the University in Virgina. They came to find out it was a guy by the name of Cho Seung Hui a 23year-old senior majoring in English and after a day of bloodbath left 33 people dead, including Cho, who killed himself as police closed in. What made him do this, how long did he plan on doing this. Fellow classmates said there were signs everywhere but nobody did anything about it. I guess he would write plays and there were very disturbing and he was referred to counseling to seek advice about his writing. After the murder scene they had found a note in his room that was discriminating him as "anti-woman, anti-rich kid." Therefore he did have a certain target he was going after. He was very quiet, always by himself he never reached out to anybody or talked with anyone. He was always the one in the back of the room not responding. He was a citizen therefore he could buy a legal firearm. Roanoke Firearms had sold the glock along with some practice ammo to Cho 36 days ago for $571. They though He was a nice, clean-cut college kid. But what turned out that this kid had been planning this shoot out for awhile. Supposibably couple weeks ago they got a couple of bomb threats towards the engineering dept and they didnt do anything about it, and that's where he did most of the shooting at. I think this is such a tragedy most of these students had ambitions to succeed and graduate and now they have nothing. School is supposed to be a safe enviornment where people want to be. I think they should of done some follow up on the bomb threats and maybe they could of caught him. This type of tragedy makes people around the world be more cautious to their fellow peers.
