UPDATE: I didn't post a duplicate thread, the mods tried to split the thread up and failed, miserably :)

Killer was a 23 year old Korean English major.

Update just released:
"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."

The shooter obviously played Doom and listened to Marylin Manson.

I heard he had only lived in the us since fall of 06. I also heard he seemed very calm and was not acting crazy when walking to the classroom. i dont see how people could blame this incident on a game. just my input.

The South Korean foreign ministry has said that he moved with his family to the US in 1992, and holds a green card.

That's what I have heard as well, that he's been here for quite a while.

This post,while not completely up to date, talks about how he was calm, and the probably reasons why (she's a psychologist).

what the crap? Okay, first of all the "play" was really really horrible. and second, did he post that on the net, or did someone else. Because if someone else did, that's just stupid. "Hey this guy just killed 32 people, so lets try and spread his name more by posting this crappy play of his on the internet." Oi.

Well, people need this sort of stuff to try and understand the motive behind what happened. What was going through the guy's head, that sort of stuff. I don't think it's that stupid. In fact, I think that everyone, especially the victims' family and friends, deserve to know everything they can about what happened.

Btw, never heard of thesmokinggun? Have you been under a rock?
