The suspected gunman in the Virginia Tech shooting rampage,  Cho
Seung-Hui, was a troubled 23-year-old senior from South Korea who
investigators believe left an invective-filled note in his dorm
room, sources  say.

The note included a rambling list of grievances, according to
sources. They said Cho also died with the words "Ismail Ax" in red
ink on the  inside of one of his arms.

Cho had shown recent signs of violent,  aberrant behavior, according
to an investigative source, including setting a  fire in a dorm
room and allegedly stalking some women.

A note believed to  have been written by Cho was found in his dorm
room that railed against "rich  kids," "debauchery" and "deceitful
charlatans" on campus.

"Investigators believe Cho at some  point had been taking medication
for depression. They are examining Cho's  computer for more evidence."

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- The suspected gunman in the Virginia Tech shooting
rampage, Cho Seung-Hui, was a troubled 23-year-old senior from South
Korea who  investigators believe left an invective-filled note in
his dorm room, sources  say.

The note included a rambling list of grievances, according to
sources. They said Cho also died with the words "Ismail Ax" in red
ink on the  inside of one of his arms.

Cho had shown recent signs of violent,  aberrant behavior, according
to an investigative source, including setting a  fire in a dorm
room and allegedly stalking some women.

A note believed to  have been written by Cho was found in his dorm
room that railed against "rich  kids," "debauchery" and "deceitful
charlatans" on campus.

The English  major from Centreville, Va., a rapidly growing suburb
of Washington, D.C., came  to the United States in 1992, an
investigative source said.

He was a legal  permanent resident.

His family runs a dry cleaning business and he has a  sister who
graduated from Princeton University, according to the  source.

Investigators believe Cho at some point had been taking  medication
for depression. They are examining Cho's computer for more  evidence.

The gunman's family lived in an off-white, two-story town house  in
Centreville.

"He was very quiet, always by himself," neighbor Abdul  Shash said
of the gunman. Shash said the gunman spent a lot of his free time
playing basketball, and wouldn't respond if someone greeted him.
He described  the family as quiet.

Marshall Main, who lives across the street, said the  family had
lived in the townhouse for several years.

According to court  records, Virginia Tech Police issued a speeding
ticket to Cho on April 7 for  going 44 mph in a 25 mph zone, and
he had a court date set for May  23.

Cho was found among the 31 dead found in an engineering hall. Police
said the victims laid over four classrooms and a stairwell.

"He was a  loner," said Larry Hincker, a university spokesman, who
added that investigators  are having some difficulty unearthing
information about him.

A law  enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity
because the information  had not been announced, said Cho was
carrying a backpack that contained receipts  for a March purchase
of a Glock 9 mm pistol.

Ballistics tests by the  federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms showed that one gun was used in  Monday's two separate
campus attacks that were two hours apart.

As a  permanent legal resident of the United States, Cho was eligible
to buy a handgun  unless he had been convicted of any felony criminal
charges, a federal  immigration official said.

Police said Cho killed 30 people in a Virginia  Tech engineering
building Monday morning and then killed himself.

Another  two students were shot to death two hours earlier in a
dorm room on the opposite  side of the university's sprawling
2,600-acre campus, bringing the day's death  toll to 33.

Students at Harper Hall, the campus dormitory where Cho  lived,
said they had little interaction with him and no insight into what
might  have motivated the attack.

Timothy Johnson, a student from Annandale,  Va., said people would
say hello to Cho in passing, but nobody knew him  well.

Entirely possible, even probable.

Changes nothing, however.

Clearly they should be banned.  Antidepressants don't kill people, people 
kill people.

If everybody in the classroom had been on antidepressants, there wouldn't 
have been one lone guy unopposed on antidepressants.

All school shootings in the US and many murder/suicide events have been 
triggered by SSRIs. Google it!

SSRIs have different effect in older adults than in young people. The 
label now even idicates so (They forget to mention that the patient is 
also at risk of hearing voices get paranoid and murderous)

Taking or stop taking SSRIs should be supervised by a doc.
