The note was posted on the chained up doors on the outside of the building. It was written with very poor penmenship, or most likely a poor command of the english language. It said ‘dont open the door, there is a bomb’, or somehting to that effect. A teacher opened it anyway, thinking it was a hoax, having been desensitized due to 2 or 3 bomb threats having been dropped in the past few weeks. upon seeing the door chained shut, she notified athorities.
-this was reported by the NY Times and the USA Today.
Can anyone confirm the motive? or is the GF/cheating story just speculation.

Cliffs: In the past couple weeks, Seung-Hui had called in two bomb threats to “test” the security of the buildings and the reaction time of police. Yesterday morning @ 7:00 he went to his girlfriend Emily’s dorm in AJ Hall. He got into an argument with her. Emiliy’s Resident Assistant proceeded to intervine. He shot Emily, and then proceeded to shoot the RA Ryan Clark…he held a 4.0 GPA and was a senior.
Police treated this as a domestic dispute and originally thought it was a murder suicide. When no weapons were found at the scene, the alerted students via email…to be on the lookout for suspicious activity. That email was sent @ 9:30.
In the meanwhile, Seung-Hui returned to his dorm room. Wrote a letter which has been described as “disturbing”, and reloaded his ammunition. He left the note in his dorm and proceeded across campus to Norris Hall. He chained the two main exits and began opening doors and firing into classrooms. He then shot himself, and the rest is history.
Seung-Hui also had a history of stalking females on the VT campus. His letter was filled with hate for rich kids and whorish women. He was a Korean immigrant who had been here since the age of 3. He was an English major. He has no facebook, nor myspace accounts. He bought the guns legally.
