I am heartbroken by the events at Virginia Tech yesterday.
As I try to wrap my head around it, I keep going back to Cho Seung-hui, the gunman. I am saddened that this 23 year old young man ever got to that emotional place where killing 32 people and then taking his own life seemed like the right thing to do.
A lot of questioning and examining will be done in Blacksburg and across the country over the next several weeks. It is my sincere hope that while the pundits are asking about this kid's mental stability and whether there were missed warning signs, we will take a few moments to look at what drove this young man to act in this way.
My deepest sympathies are with the victims and their families, and the entire faculty, staff and student body at Virginia Tech.
Please, be good to one another.
