The Virginia Tech massacre was a school shooting that unfolded as two separate attacks about two hours apart on April 16, 2007, on the campus of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia, United States. Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 people and wounded many morebefore committing suicide, making it the deadliest shooting in modern United States History.
The Virginia Tech Massacre was not just merely a shooting. There are more stories underlying behind it, just that we do not seem to know what they are. It was identified that Cho, the killer of the massacre was not in the right state of mind since a long time ago, but no one managed to realise that he is actually very "hazardous". A distinguished psychiatrist and psychotherapist who works with the mentally ill saw mental illness when he saw the video which Cho produced. He said that there are a lot of red flags here for some schizophrenialike or psychotic disorders.
The predominant initial theory, which still retains support, is that Cho suffered from anger fused with depression. With school shooters, the anger almost always begins with a loss. It will turn inward and result in depression. Most patients get help or get over it; some get worse and kill themselves. But in Cho's case, he chose to kill more people, including himself.
Thinking back, do you think Cho should be the only one resposible for this accident? Should there be more people involved, for example, people who aggrevated him?
