· Virginia Tech Massacre - Killer's Vid...

Virginia Tech massacre. Eighteen-year-old Emily Jane Hilscher was one of the first two victims to be identified in the Virginia Tech massacre, along with 22-year-old Ryan Clark. The pair were neighbours in rooms 4040 and 4042 on the fourth floor of the West Ambler Johnston Hall dormitory where a gunman began the first of 33 campus shootings on Monday morning. Dressed more like a 'boy scout' than a mass murderer, he arrived at her dormitory room early on Monday morning. Another student, Ryan Clark, rushed to help after hearing his neighbour arguing with Cho. But the 22-year-old died alongside her. Detectives believe that Cho Seung-Hui was obsessed by 18-year-old student Emily Hilscher. More survivors told of the chilling scenes and miraculous escapes. One described the gunman's 'maniacal laughter' and said he had a 'serious but calm' look as he walked around looking for fresh victims. Students expressed disgust and disbelief at photos and a rage-filled video diatribe sent to a television network by the gunman who massacred 32 people at Virginia Tech university. Half-a-dozen Virginia Tech students gathered silently around a bank of televisions in the student center late on Wednesday watching images of Cho Seung-Hui posing with his guns and video of him ranting against rich kids and debauchery. Cho, a South Korean native, was in the U.S. as a resident alien with a residence established in Centerville, Va. Cho was living on campus in Harper Residence Hall.
