Washington, DC (TLS). Students and officials at Virginia Tech are reporting today that campus gunman Cho Seung Hui was known for being emotionally disturbed and had written a play in a creative writing class that sent him to campus mental health counselors.
The Smoking Gun has posted on its website the text of that play.
The play contains scenes of graphic violence, including that which involved a chain saw.
Students also report today that at the start of the semester last year, Cho refused to sign his name on the class registration form, but only put a question mark where his name would normally appear. When the professor asked if he should refer to him as 'question mark,' Cho refused to speak.
For the remainder of the semester, Cho remained silent and was known merely as 'that question mark guy.'
The complete text of Cho's play, entitled 'Richard McBeef,' can be found at the Smoking Gun here:
