I just heard from my dad that the kid was a Chinese exchange student... Wow.
Not really. From MSNBC:
Thirty-three people were confirmed dead after the bloodbath Monday, including the gunman, whom police identified as Cho Seung-Hui (pronounced Choh Suhng-whee), of Centreville, Va., a senior in the English Department. Cho was a resident alien who immigrated to the United States from South Korea in 1992.
Condolences to those families. May that killer burn in the hell. And yeah, pp1 should be armed. Even a folder could help a lot if it's in the right hand.
