A gunman opened fire in a Virginia Tech dorm and then, two hours later, shot up a classroom building across campus on April 16, killing 32 people in the deadliest shooting rampage in U.S. history. The gunman committed suicide, bringing the death toll to 33.
The shootings spread panic and confusion on campus. Witnesses reporting students jumping out the windows of a classroom building to escape the gunfire. SWAT team members swarmed over the campus. Students and faculty members carried out some of the wounded themselves.
Two people were killed in a dormitory room, and 31 others were killed in the classroom building, including the gunman ― who was later identified as Cho Seung-Hui, a 23‐year‐old immigrant from South Korea.
“It's impossible to make sense of such violence and suffering," President George W. Bush said at a memorial service that was held on the campus on April 17.
Why did he make such a event? Is it related some problem about immigrant in U.S. hold?
How this event effect the view of immigrants Americans have?
