A South Korean English major??? Nah, it doesn't pass the smell test.
A South Korean English major on a killing rampage in an engineering building??? You've got to be kidding.
My guess is that some low level clerk checking the University's records saw the student's college listed as ENG (abbreviation for ENGineering) and assumed it stood for ENGlish. They probably passed that mistake on to a university administrator/spokesman and then on to a reporter.
It'll be days before the MSM gets it straightened out, and by then the public will be too bamboozled to every get it right.
Will be interesting to watch for that info.
Whatever .... ever meet any S. Korean immigrants attending major schools? Apparently not.
