Authorities were investigating whether the gunman who killed 32 people on the Virginia Tech campus in the deadliest shooting rampage in U.S. history was a Chinese man who arrived in the United States last year on a student visa.

The 24-year-old man arrived in San Francisco on United Airlines on Aug. 7 on a visa issued in Shanghai, the source said. Investigators have not linked him to any terrorist groups, the source said.

Pictures were taken too long ago for it to have been him (if this press clipping is correct). Also, the kid looks too young.

I may be wrong but I thought the Student Visa is a non-immigrant visa.

Since 1998 it is illegal for a person on a non-immigrant visa to own a gun.
