Virginia Tech Shootings

The gunman suspected of carrying out the Virginia Tech massacre that left 33 people dead was identified on Tuesday as a English major whose creative writing was so disturbing that he was referred to the school's counseling service.

News reports also said that he may have been taking medication for depression, that he was becoming increasingly violent and erratic, and that he left a note in his dorm in which he railed against "rich kids," "debauchery" and "deceitful charlatans" on campus.

Cho Seung-Hui, a 23 year's old senior, arrived in the United States as boy from South Korea in 1992 and was raised in suburban Washington, D.C., officials said. He was living on campus in a different dorm from the one where Monday's bloodbath began.

Police and university officials offered no clues as to exactly what set him off on the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history.

Expressing the nation's sorrow, President Bush ordered flags flown at half staff on Tuesday in honor of those killed in the nation's deadliest shooting spree.

This is not the first time shooting rampage were report in the U.S, it makes us wonder why the incident may happen at the first place.
