Students signing a memorial banner

On a windy & cold Monday in April, students woke up at Virginia Tech & proceeded with their normal day of activities just like many of us. Many went to class, many stayed in their dorms & studied, and many attended other activities.

At 7:15am, student Seung-Hui Cho entered the West Ambler Johnston Hall co-ed Dormitory. He shot and killed 2 students, Emily J. Hilsher, and Ryan Clark.

Authorities inspected the 1st shooting indicating that it may of have been a domestic dispute, and thought that the shooter left campus.

Virginia Tech Officials did not inform students of the 1st shooting, and classes went on as scheduled.

At 9:15am, Seung-Hui Cho entered Norris Hall, an engineering & science building. He chained the doors shut, and shot at more people.

He went from classroom to classroom shooting innocent victims.

30 people were murdered in Norris Hall before Seung-Hui Cho turned the gun on himself
