Why does VA tech families want shooting probe reopened?
ROANOKE, Va. – Families of the Virginia Tech shooting victims asked Gov. Tim Kaine on Tuesday to reopen a state commission’s investigation of the 2007 mass killings in which 32 people died. Relatives of many those killed as well as students injured in the rampage and their families issued a statement urging Kaine to reopen the review because of inaccuracies and omissions in the report. The families’ statement followed disclosure last week that the former director of the university’s counseling center recently found missing mental health records for student gunman Seung-Hui Cho at his home. Cho committed suicide after killing students and faculty members in a dormitory and classroom building on the Blacksburg campus on April 16, 2007 — the worst mass shootings in modern U.S. history.
