My question too.
And who was it they were “interviewing” as a suspect when the second round of shooting started? And why?
The “person of interest” was apparently the boyfriend of one of the victims from the first shooting in West Ambler Johnston. He was a student at Radford University (a few miles up the road from VT) and was stopped and being detained on the side of the highway when Cho opened up in Norris Hall.
It’s speculation, but I expect that over the next couple of days, we’re going to find out that Cho had been stalking this girl, or else had tried to date her and gotten shot down in flames. Now why he went to Norris and opened fire on mechanical engineering classes (and a German class, where many of the casualties were), I have no idea. Sounds like this guy wasn’t wrapped real tight.
The amazing thing is, he lived ON-CAMPUS (Harper Hall, I think). From my three years in a dorm, I find it remarkable that this guy could put this together (two handguns and a crapton of ammo) and not have somebody have an inkling that Something Bad was going to happen. It’s very hard to keep secrets with that many 18- to 23-year-olds crammed together that tightly.

I suspect it may have been a new or previous boyfriend.
See post #4535.
The suspect was the boyfriend of the roommate that was killed.
