Law enforcement officials have identified the shooter who killed 33 people yesterday and confirmed a link between the dorm shooting and the massacre in the lecture hall:
BLACKSBURG, Virginia (CNN) — Police identified the gunman who killed 32 people on the Virginia Tech campus before turning the gun on himself as student Cho Seung-Hui, university police Chief Wendell Flinchum said Tuesday.
The 23-year-old South Korean and resident alien lived at the university’s Harper Hall, Flinchum said. He was an English major, the chief said.
Flinchum said ballistics tests showed that one of the two guns recovered at Norris Hall, where 30 people and the gunman died, was used in the Norris shooting and an earlier shooting at a dormitory that left two dead.
This, of course, is what everyone suspected and seems to confirm yesterday’s rumors that this may have all been about a romantic affair gone wrong.
