Two people died in a dorm room, and 31 others were killed across campus in Norris Hall, including the gunman. Thousands attended a convocation for the students and faculty members killed in the rampage, with thousands more, unable to fit into the auditorium, filling the school's football stadium. A gunman opened fire in a Virginia Tech dormitory and then in a classroom building on the other side of the Blacksburg, Va., campus two hours later, killing 32 people in the deadliest shooting rampage in U.S. history. The gunman committed suicide, bringing the death toll to 33. Investigators offered no motive for the attack. The gunman's name(Cho Seung-Hui) was not immediately released, and it was not known if he was a student. The FBI and the ATF believe two handguns were used by the gunman who was only described as a young Asian male. At least 26 people were injured. The bloodbath took place at opposite sides of the 2,600-acre campus, beginning at about 7:15 a.m. at West Ambler Johnston, a coed residence hall that houses 895 people, and continuing about two hours later at Norris Hall, an engineering building. VICTOM LIST Emily Jane Hilscher Hilscher, 19, of Woodville, Va., was a freshman majoring in animal and poultry sciences. She lived on the same dorm floor as victim Ryan Clark. Hilscher was known around her hometown as an animal lover. Ryan Clark Clark was called "Stack" by his friends, many of whom he met as a resident assistant at Ambler Johnson Hall, where the first shootings took place. Clark, 22, was from Martinez, Ga., just outside Augusta. He was a fifth-year student working toward degrees in biology and English, and a member of the Marching Virginians band. James Christopher Bishop Jaime Bishop, 35, taught German at Virginia Tech and helped oversee an exchange program with a German university. Bishop decided which German-language students at Virgina Tech could attend the Darmstadt University of Technology to improve their German. The "fraulein" was Bishop's wife, Stephanie Hofer, who also teaches in Virginia Tech's German program. |
