Cho was later released with the requirement to undergo outpatient treatment. Then in December of that year, he was taken to a mental health facility on a magistrate's order declaring him a danger to himself and others. MARTIN: Earlier, authorities disclosed that in 2005, Cho was accused of sending unwanted messages to two female students. STEVE FLAHERTY (Superintendent, Virginia State Police): We're in the process right now of attempting to analyze and evaluate its worth.
Virginia state police superintendent Steve Flaherty spoke to reporters during a press conference yesterday. Police say they don't have conclusive evidence linking Cho to the earlier attacks at Ambler-Johnston Dormitory in which two people were killed.īut they say this package, apparently mailed during the two-hour interval between the attacks, could provide some important clues. MARTIN: According to authorities, the envelope was mailed around 9:00 o'clock Monday morning. You loved inducing cancer in my head, terrorizing my heart, and ripping my soul all this time. As aggressive as the images are, Cho's words indicate that he felt he was the one who was victimized. And he's got a vicious scowl on his face. MARTIN: In another photo, Cho is holding a hammer over his shoulder like he's about to swing. Now you have blood on your hands that will never wash off. You forced me into a corner and gave me only one option. SEUNG-HUI CHO (Virginia Tech Gunman): You had a hundred billion chances and ways to have avoided today. And he seems to allude to the Virginia Tech attacks in his own cryptic words. He praises the gunman responsible for the Columbine School attacks almost eight years ago.
He's got a gun in each hand, his arms outstretched in front of him, pointing the weapons. In one, he's wearing a black baseball hat put on backwards, and khaki pants.
But most of the pictures and video show the man in menacing poses with an angry, sometimes vacant look on his face. MARTIN: In a couple of the images, Cho is smiling, looking like any other college kid. BRIAN WILLIAMS (NBC Anchor): Tonight, NBC News has received a multimedia manifesto from the gunman at Virginia Tech, including his last recorded words. NBC announced that it had received an envelope in the mail containing images and video of 23-year-old Seung-hui Cho. RACHEL MARTIN: The story of the Virginia Tech killings took a bizarre turn yesterday. Investigators say they're evaluating those tapes, trying to find clues about how and why the massacres happened. NBC News aired video and pictures of Seung-Hui Cho that he apparently sent to NBC on the morning of the attacks. Students at Virginia Tech last night saw disturbing images of the gunman who blamed the killing of 32 people Monday during a shooting rampage on campus.
