Virginia Tech’s Internal Review of Virginia Tech Massacre Finds that Virginia Tech Not to Blame

Virginia Tech Massacre Update.  Read this article:

An internal review of the actions Virginia Tech took in the hours after student Seung-Hui Cho’s April shooting spree makes suggestions to boost security but assigns no blame for the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history.  The report was requested by Virginia Tech President Charles Steger. It was released Wednesday and includes reviews of the university’s security systems, communications and counseling services that dealt with at-risk students.  It recommends many improvements — ranging from locks on classroom doors to overhauling the campus communications system — but doesn’t fault any university or police officials for the way they handled the massacre…

Steger said during a news conference Wednesday: “We at Virginia Tech have been forever changed by the crimes of this severely disturbed young man… He was determined to commit murder, planned the crime meticulously and managed to conceal his homicidal urges from all of law enforcement authorities, and the mental health experts who tried to help him and presumably from his own family.”

The university’s report comes days before a high-profile independent group — formed by Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine — is scheduled to release its broader investigation.
