Chicago Sun Times: VT Killer Identified?

CST: Authorities are investigating whether the gunman who killed 32 people on the Virginia Tech campus in the deadliest shooting rampage in U.S. history was a Chinese man who arrived in the United States last year on an F1 student visa. The 24-year-old man arrived in San Francisco on United Airlines on Aug. 7 on a visa issued in Shanghai, the source said. Investigators have not yet linked him to any terrorist groups, the source said.

Sicko Hoax: 'I am not the VT Killer'

UPDATE: Well, it looks like the Chicago Sun Times got it wrong. The killer is not Chinese, is not here on an F1 visa, and did not arrive in the United States on August 7th through San Francisco. The killer is Seung-Hui Cho, 23, was born in South Korea on Jan. 18, 1984 and entered the United States through the Detroit airport in 1992 as a child of 8. He was a permanent resident alien, a "green card" holder entitled to most of the legal rights held by U.S. citizens.
