Seung-Hui Cho was a 23-year-old socially isolated Korean man who committed suicide after murdering 32 people at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007. The massacre was evidently motivated by the killer's intensely anti-Christian views. "Jesus was crucifying me. When the time came, I did it. I had no choice…"[1]

The killer "railed against his parents' strong Christian faith."[2] According to one report, Cho Seung-Hui had left a note in his dormitory which contains a rant against Christianity[3] and "rich kids". He stated that ""Thanks to you I died like Jesus Christ, to inspire generations of the weak and defenseless people."[4]

The spark to the killer's rage was apparently jealousy and anger towards an attractive 18-year-old student named Emily Hilscher.[5]

Cho had lived in the U.S. for fifteen years, since his parents immigrated when he was eight years old.[6] He had the name Ismail Ax written in red ink on his arm before the shooting.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag

According to Cho's former roommates, Cho has been investigated by police in 2005 for stalking several female students on campus including a female student he had been communicating with via instant messenger under the pseudonym Question Mark.[7]

Mandated counseling

Cho was taken into police custody on Dec. 13, 2005, after a mental health evaluator found him to be "an imminent danger to himself or others as a result of mental illness" and "incapable of volunteering or unwilling to volunteer for treatment." According to court documents first obtained by ABC News, Cho was evaluated and detained for a hearing at Carilion St. Albans Psychiatric Hospital. What had not been reported or publicly known until this point was what happened next – specifically, that Cho was ordered to receive outpatient care at the university-run Cook Counseling Center.[8]
