I keep seeing on the news that the killer’s face was disfigured because he shot himself in the head. Did he shoot himself in the back of the head or something?

The media is reporting that he had the receipts for the gun purchases in his backpack that he was wearing during his killing spree. Why in the world would he have the receipts for the murder weapons in the backpack?

Also, this guy was a 23 yr old senior at Tech. How many 23 yr old seniors still live on campus?

Strange stuff.

I just recieved a "Virginia Airspace Bulletin" by email:

FAA TO ESTABLISH TFR OVER BLACKSBURG TODAY

AOPA is sending this message to advise pilots in and near Blacksburg, Virginia, that the FAA has issued a notam restricting flight in the area during President Bush's planned visit to Virginia Tech today, Tuesday, April 17.

Looks like he'll be there shortly after noon - there is an advisory for severe turbulence in that area so I hope they take it easy!!!

“Investigators believe Cho at some point had been taking medication for depression. They are examining Cho’s computer for more evidence.” From the following link:

FOX News knows this guy purchased a Glock and yet they keep showing stock photos of a couple of SIG Sauers.

Nice research.

Just speculation on my part.

Cho returned to his dorm room after the first shooting to regroup, reload, prepare, write a note and search the university web site for his next victim. Reports indicate Professor Herr Bishop was his next victim. What grievance Cho held against Prof. Bishop is unclear. Perhaps bad grades. Perhaps Cho was planning to go for his Master's, and Prof. Bishop was an obstacle.

The receipt for the gun purchase was left in his backpack inadvertently. I believe Cho forgot it was there. He had defaced the serial no.s to create a "drop piece." At some point Cho must have planned to use his weapons for some "hit" he would survive and that would involve discarding the gun(s). That is why he tried to make them untraceable.

Will be interesting to learn when Cho purchased additional magazines, and he must have had plenty. At that time Cho changed his plans from conducting an assassination operation he survived to a suicidal mass murder.

“He apparently had scrawled the words “ISMAIL AX” on the inside of one arm, according to the Chicago Tribune, which may be a reference to the Islamic account of the Biblical sacrifice of Abraham.”
