Shooter Identified in Virginia Tech Massacre

Now that the shooter at the scene of the Norris Hall massacre has been identified as 23-year-old South Korean Native and legal US Resident, Seung-Hui Cho, there are now questions being raised about University protocol in the event of and emergency, and the age-old issue of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

There is still concern over the fact that the student body was not notified of the West AJ shootings until minutes before the second killing spree began. Experts in school safety have made numerous references to the Jeanne Clery Act, which requires policies on reporting crime and security of students in the event of an emergency, and whether or not there is fault to be found in Virginia Tech's compliance with this act. Check out the details at www.securityoncampus.org/schools/cleryact/text.html . It should be noted that those same experts interviewed on MSNBC also stressed that the University should not be blamed at this point, but there are lessons to be learned. Some parents are already calling for President Charles Steger's resignation for the handling of the information. I think that we should learn from the Duke Lacrosse case not to hold a trial of those involved in the media. The truth will come out in time.
