More details have become available concerning the Deadliest Shooting in U.S. History reported on H.N., The Virginia Tech Massacre.

The shooter who killed 30 people and then killed himself has been identified as Cho Sueng Hui, a 23 yr.old  senior English major at Virginia Tech. Hui is a Southern Korean Native, who has a resident alien visa to be in the U.S. . Hui lived on campus in Harper Hall.

Police reported that bodies were found in four different classrooms including Hui’s and bodies were also found in the Staircase of Norris Hall on the Virginia Tech Campus. Two guns were found on the scene a 9mm and .22 caliber semi-automatic pistols. One of the guns has also been confirmed to have been used at the scene of the of the first shooting at Ambler Johnston Hall, leaving authorities to believe Hui was the shooter at both incidents although they don’t yet have the evidence to support that.

Inside Norris, the attack began with a thunderous sound from Room 206 – “what sounded like an enormous hammer,” said Alec Calhoun, a 20-year-old junior who was in a solid mechanics lecture in a classroom next door.Screams followed an instant later, and the banging continued. When students realized the sounds were gunshots, Calhoun said, he started flipping over desks to make hiding places. Others dashed to the windows of the second-floor classroom, kicking out the screens and jumping from the ledge of Room 204, he said.

“I must’ve been the eighth or ninth person who jumped, and I think I was the last,” said Calhoun. He landed in a bush and ran.
Calhoun said that the two students behind him were shot, but that he believed they survived. Just before he climbed out the window, Calhoun said, he turned to look at his professor, who had stayed behind, apparently to prevent the gunman from opening the door.

The instructor was killed, Calhoun said.
