"You caused me to do this!"

The two guns Cho carried on him when found by police:
Glock 19
Walther P22

30 people were shot by a lone gunman at two campus locations before the gunman died.

Unknown at this time is motive for shooting and how the gunman died.

Campus authorities waited two hours before issuing a warning to students, just as an engineering building was targeted by the lone gunman.

Originally, the gunman had opened fired on the fourth floor of a dormitory about 1/2 mile from his final standoff.

In addition, 26 people were wounded.

See what happens when a gun nut believes strongly in his right to bear arms?

UPDATE: 2:32 PM April 17, 2007:

According to recent reports, the following is a good picture of the gunman.



Cho Seung-Hui, a South Korean permanent resident, had apparently bought a gun, a Glock 19, in a gun shop back in March. Five weeks later, he bought a second gun, a Walther P22.

In his rambling letter, all three pages of it, he blamed others for his rampage, writing, "You caused me to do this."

As well, he ranted about debauchery, deceitful charlatans, and rich kids. So in a sense, the possible reason for his rampage was the apparent immorality of his peers on campus.

So let's call this shooting what sometimes happens when hikikomori happens on American soil.

Maybe it's time to befriend a loner before he turns evil and identifies with a Qutbian terrorist.
