Virginia Tech slaughter speaks out!

Cho Seung-Hui, the man behind the sick and twisted killings at Virgina Tech University, spoke on camera. It is finally known what exactly he did in the two hour span between killings. He took pictures of himself in various positions and with weapons and he made a few short videos where he said "you forced me into a corner". This sick and obviously disturbed individual even went as far to say "You had a hundred billion chances and ways to have avoided today".

Later in the video he went on a rant about his hatred of the wealth and other unnamed enemies in this chilling and angry messages. He went on to say "You had everything you wanted. Your Mercedes wasn't enough, you brats. Your golden necklaces weren't enough, you snobs. Your trust fund wasn't enough. Your vodka and cognac weren't enough. All your debaucheries weren't enough. Those weren't enough to fulfill your hedonistic needs. You had everything".

All the information hasn't yet been released, for obvious reasons, but MSNBC.com reported that Cho also discussed "martyrs like Eric and Dylan" apparently referring to Columbine High School gunmen Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who killed 13 people and themselves on April 20, 1999.

Also according to ABCNews.com, Cho Sueng-Hui had the words "Ismael-Ax" scribbled in red ink on his arm at the time he was found after committing suicide. The pictures that he took of himself are truly menacing.

From MSNBC.com,

NBC News President Steve Capus said the network received the package in Tuesday afternoon's mail delivery, but it was not opened until Wednesday morning. .The letter carrier noticed that it bore a return address from Blacksburg and alerted NBC security officers.

Cho's name was not on the package; instead the return address said it came from "Ishmael." Investigators said Cho's body was found Monday with the words "Ismael Ax" scrawled on his arm.

There was no indication why Cho chose NBC News to receive the package, which was immediately turned over to FBI agents in New York. Capus said NBC News was cooperating with Virginia State Police and the FBI, which is assisting the State Police.

The package included an 1,800-word manifesto-like statement diatribe in which Cho expresses rage, resentment and a desire to get even. The material is “hard to follow ... disturbing, very disturbing,” Capus said in an interview late Wednesday afternoon.

The material does not include any images of the shootings Monday, but it does contain vague references. And it mentions “martyrs like Eric and Dylan” — apparently a reference to Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the teenagers who killed 12 students and a teacher at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., eight years ago this coming Friday.

The material is deeply angry, crying out against unspecified wrongs done to him in a diatribe laced with profanity.

“I didn’t have to do this. I could have left. I could have fled. But no, I will no longer run. It’s not for me. For my children, for my brothers and sisters that you f---, I did it for them,” Cho says on one of the videos.

“When the time came, I did it. I had to.”

I'm really speechless. I probably won't be posting too much more over the next few days as i'm going out of town for a family event, my prayer and thoughts will still be with the victims and their friends and families of Monday's tragedy.

More news on the "disturbed" man behind the massacre at Virginia Tech

It is now being reported by CNN, that Cho Seung-Hui was in fact taken to a mental health facility by police after a pair of stalking incidents and an instant message sent to his roommate stating that he "might as well just kill himself now". I mentioned yesterday that he was taken to a counseling center, but we know know it was indeed, a mental help facility.

"The student declined to press charges and referred to Cho's contact with her as annoying," Flinchum said of the November investigation.

The sad irony of this new information is if Cho had declined to willing go to the hospital, it would have gone on his record and he would not have been able to buy the two guns that ultimately murdered 32 innocent men and women. Cho went to the mental health facility on December 13, 2005.

It is also now known that Cho bought both guns-- 9mm glock handgun and .22 caliber handgun-- in the last two months. The 9mm was purchased on March 13th from a local gun store, Roanoke Firearms, and then within the last week he purchased the .22 caliber handgun online. He later went to a pawnshop to pick it up and show his information. Nothing was out of the ordinary and he is said to have done the transactions without drawing any attention to himself. The owner of the Roanoke Firearms said that the Glock 9mm was bought for $571 with his credit card and it was an "unremarkable" purchase.

The owner, John Markell, said that Cho was "low-key" and was "clean shaven" when he purchased the handgun and 50 rounds of ammunition. The 50 rounds were in a practice box, nothing out of the ordinary, said Markell. Markell also said that Cho did not say what he wanted the gun for, but seeing as how the 9mm glock is their biggest seller and is traditionally used for practicing and self-defense, Markell and his associates had no reason to think otherwise. Markell did say that he felt horrible when he found out that one of the guns used in this brutal massacre was purchased at one of his stores.

New details on the Va Tech killer.

Two of Cho Seung-Hui's former roommates told a reporter(I forgot his name) that he had stalked and harassed at least three different women in the Virginia Tech dorm. In two instances the police were called. And on one of the calls he sent an email to his roommates saying that he "might as well kill himself". His two roommates informed police about these comments and Cho was taken to a counseling center for a day or two. It was also said that he told people he had an imaginary girlfriend, called "Jelly" and she was a supermodel. His imaginary name was "spanky" and he had fantasies about "Jelly" and "Spanky".

EDIT:

The reporter's name is Gary Tuckman(SP?) also more was said about Cho. The guy was seriously very disturbed, he never talked unless he was behind the computer, he slept with the lights on, he continuously stalked girls including the friends of his roommates, he took pictures of people without permission or explanation. And not even the presence of the police would stop him.

The killer is revealed.

The man behind these gruesome murders has been identified as 23-year, Cho Seung-Hui. Seung-Hui is a student of Virginia Tech, an English major. He also left a very long letter, several pages long, and it is described to be "disturbing" and in the letter it says "You caused me to do this". The police are saying that after he killed the two people in the dorm he returned to his dorm room, re-armed, left the note and then went to a classroom building on the other side of campus.

Cho, born in South Korea, was a legal resident alien of the United States. He was in his senior year.

Sources tell ABC News Cho bought his first gun, a Glock 9 millimeter handgun, on March 13; they say he bought his second weapon, a .22 caliber pistol, within the last week. The serial numbers on both guns had been filed off, they said.

Authorities found the receipt for the 9 millimeter handgun in Cho's backpack. They say the bag also contained two knives and additional ammunition for the two guns.

Cho's identity has been confirmed by matching fingerprints on the guns used in the rampage with his immigration records.

"Lab results confirm that one of the two weapons seized in Norris Hall was used in both shootings," Virginia Tech Police Chief Wendell Flinchum said at a press conference Tuesday morning.

At this time, police are not looking for a second shooter, though they did not rule out the possibility that Cho could have had an accomplice.

"He was a loner, and we're having difficulty finding information about him," said Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker.

It also was confirmed that Cho Sueng-Hui did commit suicide before police were able to break the lock of the door and reach him. Police said he shot himself in the face, "part of his face was missing when his body was found".
