The Virginia Tech massacre was a school shooting comprised of two separate attacks about two hours apart on April 16, 2007, on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, Virginia, United States. Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 people[5] and wounded many more[4] before committing suicide,[6] making it the deadliest shooting in modern U.S. history.[7][8]
Cho, a South Korean who had moved to the U.S. at age 8, was a senior majoring in English at Virginia Tech.[6] In 2005, he had been accused of stalking two female students[9] and was declared mentally ill by a Virginia special justice.[10] At least one professor had asked him to seek counseling.[11]
The incident, which received international media coverage, sparked intense debate about gun laws, the perpetrator's state of mind,[12] journalism ethics, the responsibility of college administrations, and other issues.
Television news organizations that aired portions of the killer's multimedia manifesto were criticized for it by victims' families, Virginia law enforcement officials, and the American Psychiatric Association.[13][14]
The massacre also reignited the gun politics debate in the United States, and drew criticism of U.S. laws and culture from commenters around the world.[15] Cho bought semi-automatic pistols two years after being declared mentally unsound, despite federal law intended to prevent such purchases.[16] Within two weeks, Virginia Governor Tim Kaine issued an executive order intended to close gaps between federal and state law that had allowed Cho to purchase handguns.[17] Proponents of gun rights suggested that students or faculty might have shot Cho and stopped his rampage if not for Virginia Tech's gun-free "safe zone" policy; proponents of gun control argued that Cho's easy access to handguns was unconscionable.
