Virginia Tech Student Cho Seung-Hui, 23, Identified as Killer

HeadlineApr 18, 2007

The memorial service was held hours after Virginia Tech Police Chief Wendell Flinchum identified the student behind the killings.

Wendell Flinchum: “We have been able to confirm the identity of the gunman at Norris Hall. That person is Cho Seung-Hui. He was a 23-year-old South Korean here in the United States as a resident alien. Cho was enrolled as an undergraduate student in his senior year as an English major at Virginia Tech. Cho was in the U.S. with a residence established in Centerville, Virginia, and was living on campus in Harper Hall.”

Police say Cho Seung-Hui killed himself after he shot dead 30 students and faculty at Harper Hall.
