The Virginia Tech University student who shot 32 people to death on campus this week mailed a package of images and video messages to NBC News during his rampage.
After killing two students in a dorm on the Blacksburg, Virginia, campus on April 16, Cho Seung Hui, sent the package. He went on to kill 30 others in a classroom building before taking his own life.
One image released by NBC shows Cho glaring at the camera while extending two pistols in gloved hands. NBC News broadcast a video showing Cho Seung Hui delivering a profanity-laced tirade.
Cho in the video says;
When the time came I did it. I had to. You forced me into a corner and gave me only one option. The decision was yours. You had a hundred billion chances and ways to have avoided today. But you decided to spill my blood. You forced me into a corner and gave me only one option. The decision was yours. Now you have blood on your hands that will never wash off.
The package was sent from a Blacksburg post office at 9:01 a.m. according to the envelope, NBC said. Emergency calls about the first shooting were made around 7:15 a.m. and the second round of firing came around 9:45.
NBC said the package contained a rambling and often incoherent 23-page written statement, 28 video clips and 43 photos. Several of the photos showed him aiming handguns at the camera.
That would help solving one of the biggest mysteries about the massacre- where the gunman was and what he did during that two-hour window between the first burst of gunfire, at a high-rise dorm, and the second fusillade, at a classroom building.
Virginia Tech Police Chief Wendell Flinchum also revealed at a news conference that Cho was twice accused of harassing female students and was involuntarily hospitalized because of mental problems in 2005 just over a year before the killings.
Cho immigrated from South Korea to the United States with his family in 1992 and was raised in Virginia outside Washington, D.C.
