On April 16, 2007, a [[Seung-Hui Cho|23-year-old]] [[Korean]] and [[atheist]] [[immigrant]] studying English at [[Virginia Tech]] went on a murder spree that took the lives of 32 faculty and students. The perpetrator then turned the gun on himself.  Amongst the victims was a 76-year old [[Holocaust]] survivor.

The university and its police has been criticized for taking 3 hours to notify students and faculties of the presence of a shooter.

On April 19, police arrested a potential copycat, Terrence Johnson, Jr., a senior at Madison School, who threatened to commit a similar crime.<ref>http://www.newschannel5.com/Global/story.asp?S=6390160</ref>
