Broken heart causes Virginia shooting

Yesterdays shooting at Virginia Tech, causing 33 deaths, was caused by a love affair, a Taiwanese student of the university has declared on Taiwan's TV-station CTI. The girl friend of the killer had broken up the relationship, media reports.

"They had a big quarrel in the West Ambler Johnston Hall and he shot her. Then the RA (dorm supervisor) came, and he shot the RA," Chen told CTI by phone.

Two hours later the rampage started. No new information about the identity of the murderer is released, who is supposed to be a fellow student who got last year his student visa in Shanghai. So, that means that the US visa office must by now have a good idea who this person is.

Update: The US media and the internet have already been hunting one wrong suspect, writes Wired on its blog. More about the wrong guy here.
