BLACKSBURG, Va., April 17 -- Virginia Tech president Charles W. Steger said today that the gunman who rampaged through the campus on Monday leaving 32 dead was a student who lived in one of the school's dormitories.
The name of the assailant has not been publicly released, but Steger, in an interview on CNN, said he was an Asian male who was "a resident in one of our dormitories."

校方官員說,兇手在兩處不同地點打死32人,打傷大約15人。這是美國有史以來最嚴重的槍殺案。 第一起槍殺案造成2人死亡。兩個小時后,槍手進入一個教學樓,打死30人。目擊者說,槍手鎮定地向躲到課桌下的學生開槍。槍手在警方到來前開槍自殺。警方還沒有公布槍手的身份及其殺人動機。至於校方為什麼在兩個多小時后才向公眾通告第一起槍殺案,校方官員辯解說,起初他們認為第一次槍擊案是一次孤立的事件。
