美报称弗大枪击案凶手是中国男子 非该校学生
（2007-04-17 9:40 am）
（纽约讯）当地时间十六日上午发生在弗吉尼亚理工大学的特大枪案凶嫌身份初步认定：行凶男子是一名持学生签证来美国就读的中国留学生，现年二十四岁。
但警方称他不是弗吉尼亚理工大学的学生。
《芝加哥太阳报》透露，他于去年八月七日乘坐美国联合航空公司的航班飞机从上海出发，在加州旧金山登陆美国，持学生签证入境。
目前调查人员并不认为他与任何恐怖主义集团有关联，但其作案动机还不清楚。

Gunman kills 32 at Virginia Tech before being killed
April 16, 2007
BY MICHAEL SNEED Sun-Times Columnist
Authorities were 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 a 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 linked him to any terrorist groups, the source said.
Police believe three bomb threats on the campus last week may have been attempts by the man to test the campus’ security response, the source said.
The exits to the buildings where the shootings occurred were chained by the shooter, the source said.
Students complained that there were no public address announcements or other warnings on campus after the first burst of gunfire. They said the first word they received from the university was an e-mail more than two hours into the rampage ― around the time the gunman struck again.
Virginia Tech President Charles Steger said authorities believed the shooting at the dorm was a domestic dispute and mistakenly thought the gunman had fled the campus.
‘‘We had no reason to suspect any other incident was going to occur,’’ he said.
He defended the university’s handling of the tragedy: ‘‘We can only make decisions based on the information you had on the time. You don’t have hours to reflect on it.’’
Steger said the university decided to rely on e-mail and other electronic means of notifying members of the university, but with 11,000 people driving onto campus first thing in the morning, it was difficult to get the word out to everyone.
Virginia Tech Police Chief Wendell Flinchum would not say how many weapons the gunman carried. But a law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was incomplete, said that the gunman had two pistols and multiple clips of ammunition.
