That same search warrant discloses that they found a bomb threat note near the shooter’s body, and apparently matching paper in the room.
to clarify for history’s sake
The “shot fired at the Tennis Court” was an ill-timed transformer blowing due to the heavy winds.
Reportedly, eight pages worth of *note* were found in his room. Despite the statement by Col. Steve Flaherty, superintendent of the Virginia State Police, who said there was no *suicide note:
Cho - who arrived in the United States as boy from South Korea in 1992 and was raised in suburban Washington, D.C., where his parents worked at a dry cleaners - left a note in his dorm room that was found after the bloodbath.
A government official, who spoke of condition of anonymity because he had not been authorized to discuss details of the case, said the note had been described to him as "anti-woman, anti-rich kid."
The Chicago Tribune reported on its Web site that the note railed against "rich kids," "debauchery" and "deceitful charlatans" on campus. ABC, citing law enforcement sources, said that the note, several pages long, explains Cho's actions and says, "You caused me to do this."
Col. Steve Flaherty, superintendent of the Virginia State Police said there was no evidence so far that Cho left a suicide note, but he said authorities were going through a considerable number of writings.
Citing unidentified sources, the Tribune also said Cho had recently set a fire in a dorm room and had stalked some women.
Monday's rampage consisted of two attacks, more than two hours apart - first at a dormitory, where two people were killed, then inside a classroom building, where 31 people, including Cho, died. Two handguns - a 9 mm and a .22-caliber - were found in the classroom building.
The Washington Post quoted law enforcement sources as saying Cho died with the words "Ismail Ax" in red ink on one of his arms, but they were not sure what that meant.
