Virginia Tech university officials were warned repeatedly more than a year ago about the South Korean student who shot 32 people in the worst mass shooting in American history, a university teacher has said.
Lucinda Roy, a former chairwoman of Virginia Tech’s English Department, told CNN she warned officials about Cho Seung-hui, 23, in 2005 after seeing how disturbing his creative writing essays were.
But she said the warnings were not taken seriously enough. The university has not yet responded to her comments.
Ms Roy said that she was so disturbed by what she found that she decided to take him out of the classroom for one-to-one tutoring.
“I was so uncomfortable that I didn’t feel that I could leave him in the classroom,” she said.
