A deranged 23 yr old South Korean student opened fire on a Monday morning to leave 33 people dead on Virgina Tech campus in Blacksburg, VA before shooting himself. The first shooting incident was reported at 7:30 am when, according to reports he shot his girlfriend after an altercation. At 9:15am, he opened fire in the engineering building to leave scores dead before shooting himself. This is the worst case of shooting on a US campus, eclipsing the events that took place on the UT Austin campus in the 60's.
Totally barbaric and absolutely deplorable. It is difficult to understand the mind of a mass-murder. There is no motive behind his actions, no hatred towards any particular person or group, no rhyme or reason. Terrorist activities are universally deplored, but when a university student opens fire and kills people, one can only sympathize, feel angry, frustrated and sorry.
P.S: 2 people of Indian origin died in this tragic incident. Prof. G V Loganathan who was with the Civil and Environmental engg dept and Minal Panchal, a graduate student from Mumbai. CNN-IBN mentioned her orkut profile

i hvnt follow this story well really... still hvnt understood the motive!?!
no one knows the official reason behind the shooting..some say he was went on a shooting spree after a dispute with his ex-gf, others hav it he was mad at a prof. No clue!
You need not mention his origin just to defame that country - The truth is he was an American!! Tomorrow if some ABCD did it, would you do the same??
you've been in the US for 3 yrs. 10 yrs down the line, will you be ok with being called an american?
