April 18, 200719 yr Author Here are two plays written by the killer: http://newsbloggers.aol.com/2007/04/17/cho-seung-huis-plays/ I read a little of these and they are very disturbing. I feel like he had a deep anger. This was reported to the police about a year and a half ago, but there wasn't anything they could do without a more specific threat. I watched an interview on CNN tonight with his two former roomates. They said he stalked several girls and barely talked to them - for an entire year. He also stalked people online using the name "Question Mark." He called one of his roomates from an upstairs room and said "this isn't who you think it is, this is Question Mark." Very disturbing...

April 18, 200719 yr *climbs up on soapbox* How many times have you heard this described as a senseless tragedy? Is there such a thing as a tragedy that makes sense? *Steps down off soapbox*
April 18, 200719 yr Small world indeed... I just saw a picture of one of my friends from when I was at Tech. He was one of the ones murdered - his name was Brian Bluhm. He was a grad student in civil engineering. He graduated with me in 2004. That makes two people that I personally know murdered, with several names still not released. Want a bit of good news? Brian was an active member of the Baptist Student Union on campus and was a Christian. At least we know he's in a better place now... I'm very sorry to hear that.

April 18, 200719 yr Author Here is the part of the article I mentioned earlier that where Cho called himself "Question Mark": Andy said Cho used to call him on his cell phone, saying his name was Question Mark. "I finally just got completely tired of it," Andy said. "And I'm like, Seung, the act's up. You know you need to stop this. " 'This isn't Seung; this is Question Mark,' " Andy said Cho insisted in the reply. He said he later tracked Cho down in a study lounge making the call. Cho's use of the Question Mark moniker wasn't just a gag on his roommates. Students in one of Cho's classes called him "the question mark kid," classmate Julie Poole told The Associated Press, because Cho used just a question mark for his name on a class sign-in sheet.

April 18, 200719 yr Just reported that the killer sent a video addressed to NBC. They said the video was mailed before the second killing. Don't know if they will show the video or not. Said it was very graphic in language and he kept saying "this didnt have to happen." They also just showed a picture of him holding two guns in the air. I dont know if it was an actual picture or a still image from the video. Very disturbing.
