| 美國維吉尼亞州州立理工科技大學昨天發生校園屠殺案，含兇手在內共三十三人死亡，十餘人或數十餘人受傷。剛剛確定兇嫌是二十三歲的 Cho， Seung-Hui，大四學生，主修英文。在一九九二年時，也就是七到八歲時從南韓移民來到美國首都Washington DC。
美國新聞說，這是美國有史以來，死傷人數最多的校園血案，和以往幾次屠殺案相同的是，兇嫌都在事發時死亡，不是被擊斃就是自殺。 有一個不被認為是校園血案的校園血案，發生在一九九五年四月十九日（月份日期竟然如此巧合），三名美國人使用汽車炸彈，爆破Oklahoma 市的聯邦大樓，造成數百戶建築受損，總共死了一百六十八人，傷約八百五十三人。其中死亡的十九個兒童裡面（不包括三個胎死腹中的胎兒），有十五個是在一所托兒所上學的小孩，想來該托兒所裏的大人也難倖免。 ================= Korea fears prejudice with shooting link By KWANG-TAE KIM, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 9 minutes ago SEOUL, South Korea - South Korea's Foreign Ministry said Tuesday the government hoped the Virginia Tech shootings, allegedly carried out by a 23-year-old South Korean native, would not "stir up racial prejudice or confrontation." Late Tuesday evening in Seoul, the shooter was identified as Cho Seung-Hui, a senior in the English department, who the South Korean Foreign Ministry said had been living in the United States since 1992. Cho was the only suspect named in connection with the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history that left 33 dead. ..........___ Associated Press reporter Burt Herman contributed to this report ================================== Va. Tech gunman writings raised concerns By ADAM GELLER, AP National Writer 8 minutes ago BLACKSBURG, Va. - The gunman suspected of carrying out the Virginia Tech massacre that left 33 people dead was identified 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-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. "He was a loner, and we're having difficulty finding information about him," school spokesman Larry Hincker said. Professor Carolyn Rude, chairwoman of the university's English department, said she did not personally know the gunman. But she said she spoke with Lucinda Roy, the department's director of creative writing, who had Cho in one of her classes and described him as "troubled." "There was some concern about him," Rude said. "Sometimes, in creative writing, people reveal things and you never know if it's creative or if they're describing things, if they're imagining things or just how real it might be. But we're all alert to not ignore things like this." She said Cho was referred to the counseling service, but she said she did not know when, or what the outcome was. Rude refused to release any of his writings or his grades, citing privacy laws. The Chicago Tribune reported on its Web site that he left a note in his dorm room that included a rambling list of grievances. Citing identified sources, the Tribune said he had recently shown troubling signs, including setting a fire in a dorm room and stalking some women. Investigators believe Cho at some point had been taking medication for depression, the newspaper reported. ======================== |
