Cho Seung-hui

Cho Seung-hui was a South Korean student who committed the Virginia Tech shooting on April 16, 2007, killing 32 people and injuring many others. His actions were influenced by a fascination with previous school shootings, particularly the Columbine massacre, which he referenced in writings and videos he produced prior to the attack. Cho's violent rampage highlighted issues of mental health and gun control in the United States, sparking national conversations that continue today.
