Seung-Hui Cho murdered 32 people, wounded 17 others, and took his life at Virginia Polytechnic Institute that day. Although many critical details surrounding the event were unknown or unclear immediately after it took place, local and national media outlets published as much information as possible, even at the risk of inaccurate reporting. For example, one of the first reports published by the media after the rampage described “unimaginable horror as some students were lined up against a wall and shot” by the gunman, who was supposedly not a student and was looking for his girlfriend (Hauser & O’Connor). It was later confirmed that the shooter was 23-year-old Virginia Tech student Seung-Hui Cho, who was not only classified as mentally ill, but was also deemed “an imminent danger to self and others” by a district court in Montgomery County, Virginia, in December of 2005 (Effron).

    Backgrounder on Pistols Used in Virginia Tech Shooting “[C]omparable in size and weight to the small .38 revolvers it has replaced, the…Glock 19 is significantly more powerful with greater firepower, and is much easier to shoot fast and true.” - Glock Catalog April 2007 Table of Contents Introduction...................................................................................................1 Attachment One: Catalog Copy for the Glock 19 and Walther P22 Pistols............5 Attachment Two: Background on Glock’s History from the book Making a Killing: The Business of Guns in America............................................9 Introduction The two handguns used in the Virginia Tech shooting—a 9mm Glock 19 pistol, and a 22 caliber Walther P22 pistol—stand as stark examples of the trend toward increased lethality that defines today’s gun industry. Since the mid-1980s, the gun industry has embraced increased firepower and capacity to resell the shrinking base of gun buyers in America.1 In the 1980s, a very significant shift in gun design and marketing occurred: high-capacity semiautomatic pistols became the dominant product line. Formerly, the most popular handgun design was the revolver, most often containing six shots. In 1980, semiautomatic pistols accounted for only 32 percent of the 2.3 million handguns produced in America. The majority were revolvers. By 1991 this number had reversed itself with semiautomatic pistols accounting for 74 percent of the 1.8 million handguns produced that year. Domestic Pistol and Revolver Production

Hargis June 2009 © 2009 Jared D. Hargis. All Rights Reserved This thesis titled Through "Foreign" Eyes: The Guardian's Coverage of the Virginia Tech Massacre by JARED D. HARGIS has been approved for the E. W. Scripps School of Journalism and the Scripps College of Communication by Bill Reader Assistant Professor of Journalism Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT HARGIS, JARED D., M.S., June 2009, Journalism Through "Foreign" Eyes: The Guardian's Coverage of the Virginia Tech Massacre (125 pp.) Director of Thesis: Bill Reader This thesis presents a textual analysis and a descriptive content analysis of how the British newspaper The Guardian covered the Virginia Tech school shootings that took place on 16 April 2007. Analysis of the first eight days of coverage, totaling 61 articles, added to the existing research on media coverage of school shootings by understanding how the media lens of an influential British newspaper viewed the “gun culture” of the United States. The results of this study indicate that The Guardian’s coverage suggests that the “gun culture” of the United States may be directly responsible for the Virginia Tech school shootings, and that the newspaper and its readers (via their feedback) have constructed a collective argument that such events are inevitable when guns are so readily accessible as they are in the United States.

    Hi! Good morning, all, and thanks for joining us. I’m Karl Blumenthal. I’m a web archivist for the Internet Archive’s “Archive-It” service and partnership community. And to begin our discussion of of collaborative web archiving I’d like to introduce a little bit of web archiving’s history and how in fact it was collaboration among many different archivists, technologists, and organizations that made the practice what it is today, and indeed how the lessons learned from that early collaboration are just as vital and important to new web archivists and their subjects today as the ever were, which I think Amy and Sam can then demonstrate in even more living color. So before we dig any deeper into this topic we can first just agree on some specific terminology. What we mean when we say “web archiving” is something like this: its the process of collecting, preserving, and ultimately enabling end-user patron access to materials originally published to the web. There are myriad reasons why libraries and archives perform this labor, but in general, you may find: that the materials you have traditionally collected in print, bound and serial forms, have increasingly shifted to a web-based publishing paradigm--that local organization or academic department might no longer send you their materials on paper but instead may share it all online; and indeed your organization itself may need to meet its own records retention mandate by preserving materials only published to its website or even the website itself; increasingly web archiving is a means to preserve and provide enduring access to events and conversations that exist entirely online, like movements with social media presences.

  • Shooting Statistics.Indd
    Auditing Shooting Rampage Statistics by Davi Barker I was so close! Here’s what I think accounts for the dif- ference. In the first sample there was likely a selection error based on what grabs headlines. Larger shootings get more press, so if you take a small sampling you’re going to be working with a data set of the worst shoot- ings. As for the consistency of the civilian statistic, it makes perfect sense if you think about from inside the mind of a heroic civilian with a concealed carry permit. It goes something like this: BANG! “Holy crap! That guy shot that other guy.” BANG! “He’s just going to keep shooting people.” BANG! And the shooter goes down. Quite a few cases went something like that. In fact, I found only one example of a shooter stopped by ci- vilians who killed more than 3 people. Jared Lough- ner killed 6 people in Tucson, Arizona before he was Firearm prohibitionists love to use tragedy to leverage tackled by two civilians. An astute reader informed me their agenda. So, it’s important for gun rights advocates that at least one of the civilians that helped stop Jared to stand their ground and fire back (proverbially) when- Loughner was carrying a concealed weapon, but he did ever this happens. not use his gun out of concern for innocent bystanders.

Moral panics have arisen as a result of these frames, having been constructed to instigate fear and affect policy in ways that can have negative effects on both students in general and, in particular, minority students in urban schools.

  • A Preventable Tragedy at Virginia Tech: Why Confusion Over Ferpa’S Provisions Prevents Schools from Addressing Student Violence*
    \\server05\productn\B\BPI\18-2\BPI204.txt unknown Seq: 1 8-JUN-09 18:56 A PREVENTABLE TRAGEDY AT VIRGINIA TECH: WHY CONFUSION OVER FERPA’S PROVISIONS PREVENTS SCHOOLS FROM ADDRESSING STUDENT VIOLENCE* KATRINA CHAPMAN I. INTRODUCTION On April 16, 2007, Seung Hui Cho, a student at Virginia Tech University, killed thirty-two students and faculty, injured seventeen more, and then took his own life in the deadliest campus shooting in U.S. history.1 Though Cho’s be- havior on several instances in the months leading up to April 16th indicated that he was a danger to both himself and the university community, administra- tors failed to accurately assess the threat he posed.2 Three days after the shootings, Virginia Governor Tim Kaine convened a diverse panel of experts on topics including mental health assessment, universi- ty administration, public safety, law enforcement, victim services, emergency medical services, and the state’s justice systems.3 These experts conducted an independent review and prepared a report, Mass Shootings at Virginia Tech (the Virginia Tech Report), detailing the issues that contributed to the tragedy.4 The Virginia Tech Report found the failure of the school’s departments (includ- ing the student counseling center, campus law enforcement, and administrators) * The author dedicates this Note to the 32 students and faculty killed on April 16, 2007, the individuals who were injured, and all those who continue to suffer because of the events of that day. This Note seeks to encourage inquiry into policies that will help protect campus communities from having to face such a tragedy again.

  • The Virginia Tech Shooting and the Politics of Excessive Apology
    Review of History and Political Science June 2017, Vol. 5, No. 1, pp. 1-9 ISSN: 2333-5718 (Print), 2333-5726 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/rhps.v5n1a1 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/rhps.v5n1a1 The Virginia Tech Shooting and the Politics of Excessive Apology Se-Hyoung Yi1, Ph.D. Abstract On April 16, 2007, Seung-Hui Cho, a Korean student at Virginia Tech, shot and killed 32 people and wounded 17 others. Immediately after the tragedy, Koreans and Korean government officials issued public apologies for Cho’s crime. The Korean Ambassador to the United States urged the Korean American community to repent and join a 32-day fast, one day for each victim. Many observers attribute this sense of collective guilt and responsibility to the collectivist and nationalistic culture among Koreans, dismissing it as strange and inappropriate. Drawing on the concept of “model minority,” this essay argues that the excessive apologies provide a new perspective to analyze the dynamics of race and ethnicity in the United States. Keywords: Virginia Tech Shooting, Seung-Hui Cho, Model Minority, Honorary White, Apology, Korean Americans. 1. Introduction On April 16, 2007, Seung-Hui Cho, a senior at Virginia Tech, shot and killed 32 people and wounded 17 others. Born in South Korea, Cho moved to the United States (the U.S.)with his family when he was eight years old, and became a permanent resident in the U.S. Although Cho had spent more than fourteen years in the United States and was mostly raised in American society, he was still a Korean national.
