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. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

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. -c

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.
