Virginia Tech officials today identified the Virginia Tech student who killed 32 people and then himself on the Blacksburg campus yesterday as 23-year-old Cho Seung Hui of Centreville.
Cho was a South Korean native who immigrated to this country as a child, officials said. He was a senior majoring in English, and lived in a dorm on campus, officials said.
Cho's body was found among those of several other slain students in a classroom in Norris Hall, Virginia state police superintendent Col. Steve Flaherty said. He had apparently taken his own life.
Cho lived in Harper Hall, which according to a campus map is one building away from West Ambler Johnston.
