Seung-Hui Cho (January 18, 1984 – April 16, 2007), also known as Cho Seung-Hui or Seung Cho was a mass murderer who shot and killed 32 people,[2] and wounded 29 others, according to police reports. The shooting rampage, termed the "Virginia Tech massacre,"[3] took place on April 16, 2007, on the campus of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University – commonly known as Virginia Tech – in Blacksburg, Virginia, United States. He committed suicide[4] after law enforcement officers breached the doors of the academic building in which he had killed 30 of his 32 victims and wounded many more, both faculty and students.

Childhood and adolescence

Seung-hui Cho immigrated to the United States in September 1992 with both of his parents and his older sister, Sun-Kyung Cho. Cho's family lived in Detroit, Michigan before to moving to Centreville, an unincorporated community located in western Fairfax County, Virginia about 25 miles (40 km) west of Washington, D.C.[6] Cho was a permanent resident of the United States and a South Korean national whose permanent address was in Centreville.[7][8] This article is becoming very long. ...

Behavior as a young child

Cho's maternal grandaunt, Kim Yang-soon, described Cho as "cold" and a cause of family concern from as young as 8 years old. According to Kim—who met him only twice[9]—the boy was extremely shy and "just wouldn't talk at all."[10] He was otherwise considered "well-behaved," readily obeying verbal commands and cues. The aunt said she knew something was wrong after the family's departure for the US because she heard frequent updates about Cho's older sister, but little news about Cho.[11] Just last year, Cho's parents told the elderly aunt he may have autism, a developmental disability marked by profound social isolation and delayed speech acquisition.[12] Autism is classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) and American Psychological Association as a developmental disability that results from a disorder of the human central nervous system. ...


An autism diagnosis could not be verified with Cho's U.S. family, nor is it clear whether it was ever used by U.S. school authorities ("no records show such a diagnosis").[13] "Relatives thought he might be a mute. Or mentally ill," reported the New York Times, which also interviewed Cho's great aunt.[14] Selective mutism is a social anxiety disorder, in which a person who is normally capable of speech is unable to speak in given situations. ... This article does not cite its references or sources. ...


To address his emotional problems, Cho's parents would take him to church. He was bullied in his Christian youth group, especially by wealthy members.[15] Youth ministry is an age-specific religious ministry and is the way in which a faith group, or other religious organisation, engages with the young people who attend its place of worship, or live in its community. ...


Behavior in elementary school

Cho studied at Poplar Tree Elementary School in Chantilly, an unincorporated section of Fairfax County. According to Kim Gyeong-won, Cho's friend in elementary school for three years (and currently a student of Seoul's Kyung Hee University), Cho finished the school's three-year program in one and a half years. Cho was noted for being good at mathematics and English, and teachers pointed to him as an example for other students.[16] Chantilly is an unincorporated community located in western Fairfax County, in the Commonwealth of Virginia. ... Fairfax County is a county in Northern Virginia, in the United States. ... Kyung Hee University (경희대학 Gyeonghui Daehak) is an independent South Korean university, with campuses in Seoul, Suwon, and Kangnung. ...


Kim met Cho in fifth grade, attending the same classes and riding the school bus together. There were only three Korean students in the school.[17] Back then, he said, nobody hated Cho and he "was recognised by friends as a boy of knowledge... a good dresser who was popular with the girls." Cho kept a distance from others because he chose to do so. Kim added that "I only have good memories about him."[16][17]


Behavior in middle school and high school

Cho attended secondary schools in Fairfax County, including Stone Middle School in Centreville [1] and Westfield High School in Chantilly. Westfield High School Westfield High School is a public secondary school in Chantilly, Virginia. ...


In middle school and high school, Cho was teased and picked on for his shyness and unusual speech patterns. In English class at Westfield High School, he looked down and refused to speak when called upon, said Chris Davids, a high school classmate. After one teacher threatened to give him a failing grade for not participating, Cho began reading in a strange, deep voice that sounded "like he had something in his mouth," Davids said. "The whole class started laughing and pointing and saying, ‘Go back to China.’" Another classmate, Stephanie Roberts, stated that "There were just some people who were really mean to him, and they would push him down and laugh at him. He didn't speak English really well, and they would really make fun of him."[18] Christopher Chomchird and Carmen Blandon, former classmates of Cho, stated that they heard rumors of a "hit list" of other students Cho wanted to kill; Blandon stated that she saw the "list" as a joke at the time [19]. Cho graduated from Westfield High School in 2003.[3]


Demeanor at Virginia Tech

Cho was an undergraduate at Virginia Tech, majoring in English, although he had told others he was a business major.[5] At the time of the attacks, he was living in Harper Hall, a dormitory just west of West Ambler Johnston Hall.[20] In some educational systems, undergraduate education is post-secondary education up to the level of a Bachelors degree. ...

Relationship with professors

Professor Nikki Giovanni, who taught Cho in a poetry class, stated that she had him removed from her class because she found his behavior menacing. She recalls being bothered by a "mean streak" and described Cho's writing as "intimidating." When informed of the massacre, she remarked, "I knew when it happened that that's probably who it was," and "I would have been shocked if it wasn't."[21] Giovanni insisted that Cho be removed from her class in 2005, about six weeks after the semester had started in September; Cho had intimidated female students by photographing their legs under their desks and by writing obscene, violent poetry.[22] Giovanni said, "I was willing to resign before I would continue with him."[23] Giovanni wrote a letter to then-department head Lucinda Roy, who removed Cho from the class. Roy alerted student affairs, the dean's office, and the campus police, but each said there was nothing they could do if Cho had made no overt threats against himself or others.[24] Yolande Cornelia Nikki Giovanni (born June 7, 1943 in Knoxville, Tennessee) is a legendary Grammy-nominated American poet, activist and author. ...


Roy described Cho as "an intelligent man" but stated that he seemed to be an awkward and very lonely and insecure student who never took off his sunglasses, even indoors. She described his behavior as at times "arrogant" and "obnoxious".[25] Roy says she tried several different ways to help him.[26] Roy would not comment at length on Cho’s writings, saying only that in general they “seemed very angry.” She said that he whispered, took 20 seconds to answer questions, and took cell phone pictures of her in class. After becoming concerned with his behavior and the themes in his writings, Roy started meeting with Cho to work with him one-on-one. She said she was concerned for her safety when she met with him. Roy told her assistant that if she uttered a name of a dead professor, a secret emergency code, the assistant was to call security[27]. After notifying the legal authorities about his behavior, Roy urged Cho to seek counseling, but he never attended[3].

When Virginia Tech creative writing professor Lisa Norris who taught Cho in both Advanced Fiction Writing and Contemporary Fiction inquired about Cho from the school's associate dean for Liberal Arts and Human Sciences Mary Ann Lewis, she was not told that Cho was suffering from mental health issues, nor about police reports. Norris wrote, "My guess is that either the information was not accessible to her or it was privileged and could not be released to me."[28] Lewis told professor Norris to recommend that Cho seek counseling at the on-campus Cook Counseling Center, which she had already done.[28] There are very few or no other articles that link to this one. ...

Fellow students described Cho as a "quiet" person who "would not respond if someone greeted him." Student Julie Poole recalled the first day of a literature class last year, when the students introduced themselves one by one: when it was Cho's turn, he did not speak. The professor, she said, looked at the sign-in sheet, and where everyone else had written their names, Cho had written a question mark. "We just really knew him as the question mark kid," Poole added.[29] Image File history File links Information_icon. ...

According to a CNN interview with both his roommates, Andy Koch and John Eide,[30] Cho demonstrated repetitive behavior such as listening repeatedly to Collective Soul's "Shine" and writing the lyrics down on his dormitory room wall.[21][31] Andy described two unusual incidents, one in which Cho stood in the doorway of his room late at night taking photographs of him, the second in which he repeatedly placed harassing cell phone calls to Andy as "Cho's brother, Question Mark", a name Cho also used when introducing himself to girls with whom he was allegedly obsessed. The roommates also said he repeatedly stalked their female friends.[21][32] Koch and Eide, tiring of Cho's behavior, searched Cho's belongings and found a pocket knife; Koch and Eide did not find any items that they deemed seriously threatening.[30] In his junior year, Cho told his two roommates Joseph Aust and Karan Grewel that he had an imaginary girlfriend he called "Jelly", a supermodel that lived in outer space who called Cho by the name Spanky.[33] Since Cho was well aware that Jelly and Spanky were imaginary constructs, his imaginary "friends" do not indicate a delusional belief. Additionally, Jelly and Spanky may have been simply Cho’s euphemism for masturbation; "I'm in here with my girlfriend and we're making out," he said.[34][verification needed] Aust and Grewel, who had previously tried to befriend Cho, immediately stopped talking to him after he told them about his two imaginary friends.[35][verification needed] The Cable News Network, commonly known as CNN, is a major cable television network founded in 1980 by Ted Turner. ...

Official psychiatric evaluation

According to Virginia law, "A magistrate has the authority to issue a detention order upon a finding that a person is mentally ill and in need of hospitalization or treatment." The magistrate also must find that the person is an imminent danger to himself or others.[36][37]

One of the self-portraits Cho sent to NBC News

On December 13, 2005, Cho was temporarily detained for a psychiatric assessment, as he was suspected to be mentally ill and a danger to himself or others by a Montgomery County, Virginia district court. Virginia Special Justice Paul Barnett certified in an order that Cho "[presented] an imminent danger to himself as a result of mental illness," and directed that as a "Court-ordered Out-Patient he follow all recommended treatments."[38] Following a psychiatric evaluation and medical exam which noted Cho's flat affect and depressed mood, he was ordered to undergo outpatient care and was released on December 14, 2005.[36] Some reports state that Cho is believed to have been taking psychiatric medications for depression,[39] but there is no record of this.[3] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

“ Virginia state law on mental health disqualifications to firearms purchases, however, is worded slightly differently from the federal statute. So the form that Virginia courts use to notify state police about a mental health disqualification addresses only the state criteria, which list two potential categories that would warrant notification to the state police: someone who was “involuntarily committed” or ruled mentally “incapacitated.”[40] ”

The fact that Cho was not committed meant he was still legally eligible to buy guns under Virginia law, avoiding the ban on the purchase of firearms by those who have been involuntarily committed.[40] It has been argued that under United States federal law, Justice Barnett's order meant that Cho had been "adjudicated as a mental defective" and was thus ineligible to purchase firearms under federal law.

Around 7:15 a.m. EDT (11:15 UTC), Cho allegedly killed two students, Emily J. Hilscher and Ryan C. "Stack" Clark, on the fourth floor of West Ambler Johnston Hall, a high-rise co-educational dormitory.[26] Police have not positively stated that Cho was the perpetrator of that shooting in addition to the later one, although forensic evidence confirms that the same gun was used in both shooting incidents.[22] Within the next two and a half hours, Cho returned to his room to re-arm himself and mailed a package containing pictures, digital video files and documents to NBC News.[42] At approximately 9:45 a.m. EDT (13:45 UTC), Cho then crossed the campus to Norris Hall, a classroom building on the campus, where he shot 59 people, killing 30 of them.[26] As police breached area of the building where Cho attacked the faculty and students, Cho committed suicide in Norris 211 with a gunshot to his head.[43] Police identified Cho by matching fingerprints on the guns used in the shootings with immigration records.[3] The Virginia Tech massacre was a school shooting that unfolded as two separate attacks about two hours apart on April 16, 2007, on the campus of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia, United States. ...

Preparation

Weapons

Between February and March 2007, Cho began purchasing the weapons that he later used during the killings. On February 2, 2007, Cho purchased his first handgun, the .22 caliber Walther P22 semi-automatic pistol, from TGSCOM Inc., a federally-licensed firearms dealer based in Green Bay, Wisconsin and the operator of the website through which Cho ordered the gun.[45][46][47][48] TGSCOM Inc. shipped the Walther P22 to JND Pawnbrokers in Blacksburg, Virginia, where Cho completed the purchase transaction and picked up the handgun.[49] Cho bought a second handgun, the 9 mm Glock 19 semiautomatic pistol, on March 13, 2007 from Roanoke Firearms, a licensed gun dealer located in Roanoke, Virginia.[45][50] Cho was able to pass both background checks and successfully complete both handgun purchases after he presented to the gun dealers his U.S. permanent residency card, his Virginia driver's permit to prove legal age and length of Virginia residence and a checkbook showing his Virginia address, in addition to waiting the required 30-day period between each gun purchase. He was successful in completing both handgun purchases, even though he failed to disclose on the background questionnaire information about his mental health history that led to court-ordered outpatient treatment at a mental health facility.[51][52][53] February 2 is the 33rd day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar. ... 2007 (MMVII) is the current year, a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar and the Anno Domini (common) era. ...

On March 22, 2007, Cho purchased two 10-round magazines for the Walther P22 pistol through eBay from Elk Ridge Shooting Supplies in Idaho.[54] Cho purchased additional ammunition magazines from the Wal-Mart and Dick's Sporting Goods stores.[citation needed] Based on a preliminary computer forensics examination of Cho's eBay purchase records, investigators suspect that Cho may have purchased an additional 10-round magazine on March 23, 2007 from another eBay seller who sold gun accessories.[55] March 22 is the 81st day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (82nd in leap years). ... 2007 (MMVII) is the current year, a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar and the Anno Domini (common) era. ...

Motive

According to television news reports on April 17, the note police found during the investigation in his dorm room criticizes "rich kids," "debauchery" and "deceitful charlatans." In the note, Cho continued by saying that "you caused me to do this."[56][3] Early reports also speculated that Cho was obsessed with fellow student Emily Hilscher and became enraged after his romantic overtures were rejected.[57][58][59][60] During the investigation, law enforcement officials could not find evidence indicating that Cho knew Hilscher.[61] According to Heather Haugh, Hilscher's roommate, she knew of no connection between Hilscher and Cho.[62] April 17 is the 107th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (108th in leap years). ...

On April 18, 2007, NBC News received a package delivered by overnight express mail containing a DVD with 27 video clips, 43 still pictures (each with individual captions), one audio clip and a multi-page typewritten manifesto.[63] The pictures, for the most part, depict Cho in military garb wielding an array of weapons, including a hammer, knife, and the two handguns found on his dead body.[64] The majority of the video depicts Cho reading his manifesto aloud. The package, addressed from "A. Ishmael" as seen on an image of the USPS Express Mail envelope (incorrectly printed as "Ismail" by The New York Times[65]) and apparently intended to be received on April 17, was delayed because of an incorrect ZIP code and street address in the mailing address. The words "Ismail AX" were scrawled in red ink on Cho's arm.[66] April 18 is the 108th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (109th in leap years). ... 2007 (MMVII) is the current year, a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar and the Anno Domini (common) era. ...

Except for the short video clip released by NBC News that was repeatedly televised by news stations, the materials Cho sent to NBC News have not been released to the public. Like the materials sent to the news network, neither Cho's medical records maintained by the university nor records retained by the local psychiatric facility where he was evaluated were released to the public.


Aftermath

Investigation

Through ballistics examination, law enforcement investigators determined that Cho used the Glock 19 pistol during the attacks at the West Ambler Johnston dormitory and at Norris Hall on the Virginia Tech campus.[67][68][69] Seventeen spent magazines were found by evidence technicians.[70] During the investigation, federal law enforcement investigators found that the serial numbers were filed off both the Walther P22 and the Glock 19 handguns used by Cho during the killing spree.[citation needed] Investigators also learned that Cho practiced shooting during mid-March at a firing range in Roanoke, about 40 miles from the Virginia Tech campus.[45] According to former FBI agent Brad Garrett, "This was no spur-of-the-moment crime. He's been thinking about this for several months prior to the shooting."[45] During the investigation, police found that Cho fired more than 170 shots during the bloody killing spree.[71] Ballistics (gr. ...


In the aftermath of the spree killing, Virginia Governor Timothy Kaine appointed a panel to investigate the campus shootings.

Reaction of Cho's family

Cho's older sister, Sun-Kyung Cho, a 2004 graduate of Princeton University who works as a contractor for the United States Department of State,[73][74] prepared a public statement on her family's behalf, publicly apologizing for her brother's actions and lending prayers to the victims and the families of the wounded and killed victims.[75] "This is someone that I grew up with and loved. Now I feel like I didn't know this person," she said in the statement issued through a North Carolina attorney. "We never could have envisioned that he was capable of so much violence."[75] Cho's grandfather stated, "My grandson Seung-Hui was very shy. I can't believe he did such a thing."[76] Princeton University is a coeducational private university located in Princeton, New Jersey, in the United States of America. ...

Media package sent to NBC News

During the time period between the two shooting events, Cho visited a local post office near the Virginia Tech campus. While Cho was at the post office, he mailed a parcel to the New York headquarters of NBC News that contained video clips, photographs and and a manifesto explaining the reasons for his actions.[77][78] The package was delayed in its delivery because of an incorrect ZIP code in the address of the parcel.[63] MSNBC, a combination of MSN and NBC, is a 24-hour cable news channel in the United States and Canada, and a news website. ...

Release of material

Upon receiving the package, NBC contacted authorities and made the controversial decision to publicize Cho's communications. NBC only released a small fraction of what it received.[79] Some people[Who says this?] expressed concerns that the release could lead to other copycat killers and glorify Cho's rampage. Those who were affected by the shootings were upset about seeing these pictures and videos being shown in the media.[80]


The media package had marginal value to police investigating the crime.[Who says this?][81]


Some psychiatrists[Who says this?] who reviewed the materials believe that Cho's rantings offer little insight into the mental illness that may have triggered his rampage.[82][83][84] Dr. Michael Wellner stated, "These videos do not help us understand [Cho]. They distort him. He was meek. He was quiet. This is a PR tape of him trying to turn himself into a Quentin Tarantino character".[83] Quentin Jerome Tarantino (born March 27, 1963) is an American film director, actor, and Academy Award-winning screenwriter. ...


On the April 24, 2007 edition of the Oprah Winfrey Show, NBC News President Steve Capus stated NBC decided to show two minutes of 25 minutes of video, seven of 43 photographs and 37 sentences of 23 pages of written material.

Writings

Plays

In 2006, Cho wrote a short, profanity-laden one-act play entitled "Richard McBeef." It is about a 13-year-old boy, whose father has reportedly died in a boating accident, and his stepfather, an ex-football player, Richard McBeef. During an attempt at a father-to-son talk, when the stepfather happens to touch John, the boy suddenly starts claiming his stepfather is molesting him. He also begins accusing Richard of having murdered his father and repeatedly says he will kill Richard. John, Richard, and Sue, John's mother, become involved in a major, irrational argument. Richard retreats to his car in search of solitude but John, despite having just claimed repeatedly Richard was abusing him, goes out and joins him in the car and begins harassing his stepfather. The play ends with John attempting to shove a cereal bar down his stepfather's throat and Richard, who up until this point has been passive, reacting "out of sheer desecrated hurt and anger" by "swinging a deadly blow" at the boy.[91] Child sexual abuse (CSA) is the sexual assault of a minor or, according to the American Psychological Association[1], sexual activity between a minor and an older person in which the dominant position of the older person is used to coerce or exploit the younger. ...


In a second play written by Cho, titled "Mr. Brownstone," three 17-year-olds (John, Jane, and Joe) in a casino discuss their deep hatred of their 45-year-old mathematics teacher, Mr. Brownstone, who they claim mistreated them (using the phrase "ass-rape"). John wins a multi-million-dollar jackpot from one of the slot machines and Mr. Brownstone, amid volleys of profanity, reports to the casino officials that the three characters are underage and picks up the winning ticket saying that it was he who had won the jackpot and the minors took it from him.[92] "Mr. Brownstone" is also the name of a Guns N' Roses song about heroin;[93][94] one page from the play consists of lyrics from the song.[95] This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ...

Reactions to writings

Edward Falco, a playwriting professor at Virginia Tech, has acknowledged that Cho wrote both plays in his class. The plays are less than 12 pages long and have several grammatical and typographical errors. Falco believed that Cho was drawn to writing because of his difficulty communicating orally. Falco said of the plays, "They're not good writing, but at least they are a form of communication."[96] Edward Falco is an American author. ...


Another professor who taught Cho characterized his work as "very adolescent" and "silly", with attempts at "slapstick comedy" and "elements of violence."[97] Slapstick is a type of comedy involving exaggerated physical violence. ...


Classmates believed "the plays, were really morbid and grotesque."[98] Former classmate Ian MacFarlane stated, "When we read Cho's plays, it was like something out of a nightmare. The plays had really twisted, macabre violence that used weapons I wouldn't have even thought of."[99] After reading "Richard McBeef," Stephen Davis, a senior in Cho's class, stated that he turned to his roommate and said, "This is the kind of guy who is going to walk into a classroom and start shooting people" [2].


Novelist Stephen King examined Cho's plays and wrote an essay for Entertainment Weekly. The essay read, in part: A novel is an extended work of written, narrative, prose fiction, usually in story form; the writer of a novel is a novelist. ... Stephen Edwin King (born September 21, 1947) is an American author best known for his enormously popular horror novels. ... Entertainment Weekly (sometimes abbreviated EW) is a magazine published by Time Inc. ...

“ For most creative people, the imagination serves as an excretory channel for violence: We visualize what we will never actually do (James Patterson, for instance, a nice man who has all too often worked the street that my old friend George used to work). Cho doesn't strike me as in the least creative, however. Dude was crazy. Dude was, in the memorable phrasing of Nikki Giovanni, just mean. Essentially there's no story here, except for a paranoid a--hole who went DEFCON-1. He may have been inspired by Columbine, but only because he was too dim to think up such a scenario on his own.

On the whole, I don't think you can pick these guys out based on their work, unless you look for violence unenlivened by any real talent.[100] For other people named James Patterson, see James Patterson (disambiguation) James B. Patterson (born March 22, 1947) is an award-winning American author. ...

Name

The different ways that the media had rendered Cho's name led to some confusion among the American public.[101] The university and many news media organizations originally used Cho Seung-hui, the Korean ordering of the perpetrator's name, due to the fact that Cho held South Korean citizenship.[102] Normally, news organizations ask the subject and/or his or her family members about preferred naming orders. However because Cho was dead and his family was unavailable, Virginia Tech followed the advice of a state trooper of Korean origin working on the case and used the Korean naming order. The Korean rendering became standard in English-speaking countries in the first few days following the massacre due in part to its usage by wire services Reuters and the Associated Press. Motto None (Unofficial: Broadly benefit humankind also translated as Devotion to the welfare of humanity) Anthem Aegukga (Patriotic Hymn) Capital (and largest city) Seoul Official languages Korean Government Presidential republic  -  President Roh Moo-hyun  -  Prime Minister Han Duck-soo Establishment  -  Gojoseon October 3, 2333 BCb   -  Liberation declared March 1, 1919... Reuters Group plc (LSE: RTR and NASDAQ: RTRSY); pron. ... The Associated Press, or AP, is an American news agency, the worlds largest such organization. ...


In response to the Korean ordering of Cho's name in press reports, some Korean-Americans asked news organizations to use Western order because they felt that the media tried to exaggerate Cho's "foreign-ness."[103] The Asian American Journalists Association issued a press release asking media to avoid such "racial identifiers."[104] The Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) was founded in 1981 by several Asian American journalists who felt a need to support greater participation by Asian Americans in the news media. ...


National Public Radio, ABC News, and The Los Angeles Times broke from the Reuters/AP standard and used the Western ordering of Cho's name, Seung-Hui Cho, because Cho was a resident of the United States since 1992 and several documents revealed Cho's name written in the Western order. For example, Cho had written the Western ordering of his name on a speeding ticket and a mental health form. The ordering Seung-Hui Cho was also used in his school records, and Cho wrote his plays under the name "Seung Cho."[103] Offical NPR logo National Public Radio (NPR) is an independent, private, non-profit membership organization of public radio stations in the United States. ... ABC News is a division of ABC television and radio networks (ABC), owned by The Walt Disney Company. ... The Los Angeles Times (also known as the LA Times) is a daily newspaper published in Los Angeles, California and distributed throughout the Western United States. ...


On April 20, 2007, Sun-Kyung Cho's written statements showed that Cho's family used the ordering Seung-Hui Cho. Media organizations which had previously used the Korean order have now generally changed their presentation of the perpetrator's name to the Western order in response to the family's statement.[75][102][105] April 20 is the 110th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (111th in leap years). ... 2007 (MMVII) is the current year, a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar and the Anno Domini (common) era. ...
