Why did he do it? What made him angry? Why take it out on other students? These are the questions running through everybody’s mind after the massacre at Virginia Tech yesterday. The killer was Cho Seung- Hui. He lived in Centerville, VA, and nobody is sure of what made him mad and why he killed all those people.
Some news sources say that he and his girlfriend had gotten into an argument and that he shot her first. He killed 32 people including himself. In his room there were no suicide notes there were just rants about the rich and privileged. Police also are uncertain why Cho stopped and shot himself to death in Norris Hall, where most of his victims laid around him.
Weeks earlier Cho took pictures of fellow students and wrote death to their names. During his English class Cho wrote a more sinister poem about death. The students were afraid of him so for the next class no one showed up. His then told him that if he didn’t lighten up with the poems that he would have to drop the class and his reply was make me. Later the teacher suggested that he go to counseling and he just walked away. He wrote a lot of plays that were very morbid and grotesque. Today as students walk through the halls remembering the massacre that happened yesterday a lot are still shook up, but for them classes are canceled until further notice.
