Mr. Cho killed 30 students and faculty members before shooting himself in the classroom building. Earlier that morning, he shot dead two students in West Ambler Johnston Hall, a dormitory. At today’s news conference, W. Steven Flaherty, the superintendent of Virginia’s state police, said investigators still had not discovered a motive for Mr. Cho’s rampage and lacked evidence to indicate why he might have chosen April 16 as the day of his attacks. Mr. Flaherty also said that investigators had not yet found any evidence that linked Mr. Cho to either of his first two victims, Emily Jane Hilscher and Ryan Clark, who were killed in their dorm. Witnesses have described seeing Mr. Cho standing outside of an entrance to West Ambler Johnston Hall just before 7 a.m. on April 16, Mr. Flaherty said. The first rescue call from the dorm was made to the university’s police department at 7:28 a.m. In addition, evidence has shown that Mr. Cho returned to his own dorm, Harper Hall, in the two hours between the first shootings and the later killings at Norris Hall. Mr. Flaherty also said that investigators knew Mr. Cho was familiar with Norris Hall because he had attended classes there. Among other information, investigators said today that they had learned that Mr. Cho practiced shooting at more than one local firing range and that the videotape he mailed to NBC News was made before the day of the shootings. —Sara Hebel Posted on Wednesday April 25, 2007 | Permalink |
