April 17, 2007 — Cho Seung-Hui, the 23-year-old student who killed 32 people and then himself yesterday, left a long and "disturbing" note in his dorm room at Virginia Tech, say law enforcement sources.
Sources have now described the note, which runs several pages, as beginning in the present tense and then shifting to the past tense. It contains rhetoric explaining Cho's actions and says, "You caused me to do this," the sources told ABC News.
Sources say Cho killed two people in a dorm room, returned to his own dorm room where he re-armed and left the note, then went to a classroom building on the other side of campus. There, he killed 30 more people in four classrooms before shooting himself in the head.
Cho, born in South Korea, was a legal resident alien of the United States. He was a senior at Virginia Tech, majoring in English.
Sources tell ABC News Cho bought his first gun, a Glock 9 millimeter handgun, on March 13; they say he bought his second weapon, a .22 caliber pistol, within the last week. The serial numbers on both guns had been filed off, they said.
Authorities found the receipt for the 9 millimeter handgun in his backpack. They say it also contained two knives and additional ammunition for the two guns.
Legal permanent resident aliens may purchase firearms in the state of Virginia. A resident alien must, however, provide additional identification to prove he or she is a resident of the state.
Sections of chain similar to those used to lock the main doors at Norris Hall, the site of the second shooting that left 31 dead, were also found inside a Virginia Tech dormitory, sources confirmed to ABC News.

That seems to be illogical...

She have an RO out against him?
I am xaisl. I am Lisax. I am Axlis. I am Silax....nothing yet.
"Is Maxila"
It's a clue to the identity of the real killer, it is someone named Maxila!
THe guy IDed the killer by name and noted he had a green card. That name wasn't released until today.
Ismail (the killer’s spelling) is also a character in a Scandinavia poem AND Moby Dick. Since he was an English Major, I’ll take “Obscure things that an English Lit pscyho might refer to” for $40 Alex!
Ok but he was an English major.

I thought Salami 11 (Salami XI) made it sound like he was packing, Milton Berle style.
Thanks for the info. I didn’t know that. That explains alot about his mental state!
Ismail is a muslim name. How many ismail do you know that are not muslims?
Ismail Ax the professor about thermodynamics ...
He didn’t have a girlfriend. He was stalking her. This incident appears to have been planned for several weeks, with bomb threats to the affected building (to test response), buying the extra gun, shooting the two in the dorm thereby creating a diversion for the main goal: someone or something at Norris Hall.
Very interesting info! Thanks.
Islam Xai!
Whatever the Hell “Xai” means. It is a Korean word.
Read page 363 of the Koran onto tape. Play it back. It says ‘Paul is still dead’....
The VT shooter was stalking people. Did authorities know he was stalking people. Who knew this information?
So I was in a shooting where the guy was stalking someone. Richard Farley stalked Laura Black.
I know there was a stalking law made after the shooting at my company, but I don’t know what all is in the law.
One thing that I will note is that most of the people at my company did not know anything about the guy even though he had been stalking Laura for like a year. He had been fired because he was bugging her.
The day of the shooting a restraining order was the day a restraining order was placed on him.
It almost seems like when you got someone who is stalking someone, more should be done to protect people.
In my company’s case, HR knew all about him. It would have been nice to know that there was a crazy person that was watching our company. It would have been nicer if the police would have been watching him.
Also, Richard Farley had been stalking Laura Black for a long time, and the authorities knew about it. Yet, he was able to buy lots of guns and ammunition. He had a camper full of guns, ammo, and explosives parked in my company’s parking lot. How in the heck was he able to get so much when he was stalking someone?
