Virginia Tech Shooter Identified

Cho Seung-Hui. That name will forever live in infamy -- synonymous with the largest mass shooting incident in U.S. history. Earlier today, authorities released the name of the 23-year-old English major as the shooter in yesterday's killings at Virginia Tech University. Officials say Seung-Hui moved to Virginia from South Korea in 1992. He was in his senior year at Virginia Tech and has been described as a sullen loner whose creative writing in English class was so disturbing that he was referred to the school's counseling service. Seung-Hui was also reportedly taking medication for depression and those who knew him say his behavior was becoming increasingly erratic and violent. Investigators also found a note that he left in his dorm in which he railed against "rich kids,""debauchery" and "deceitful charlatans" on campus. School officials admit that they're finding it difficult to find out information about Seung-Hui because he was a loner.

Faculty, students, parents and even President Bush and First Lady Laura turned out Tuesday afternoon for a memorial service at Virginia Tech's basketball arena. In a six-minute speech before thousands, Bush said, "To all of you who are OK, I'm happy for that. To those of you who are in pain or who have lost someone close to you, I'm sure you can call on any one of us and have help anytime you need it." Quoting Scripture, he told those angered by the killings not to be overcome by evil. "People who have never met you are praying for you," Bush said. "They're praying for your friends who have fallen and who are injured. There's a power in these prayers, a real power. In times like this, we can find comfort in the grace and guidance of a loving God."

Seung-Hui killed 32 people in his attack.
