Virginia Tech Gunman Had Problems As A Child Save Email Print

(April 19, 2007)—Virginia Tech gunman Cho Seung Hui was "well-behaved" as a child in South Korea, but his parents were worried about his speech problems, his grandfather says.

The 81-year-old man also tells a South Korean newspaper: "How could he have done such a thing if he had any sympathy for his parents?"

Relatives say they've had little contact with Cho's family since they moved to the US in 1992.

His great-aunt, Kim Yang-soon, told the Associated Press that she heard about what Cho had done from her brother, Cho's grandfather.

"My brother came in at about three in the morning, saying 'something big has happened. My daughter's son has shot some people,'" she said.

Kim said Cho was always a quiet boy and when he and his parents moved to the US they were told he was autistic.

She said Cho would not speak to her or his mother.

"Normally sons and mothers talk. There was none of that for them," Kim said.

"He was very cold," she added.

Kim said Cho's mother had told her she was afraid of dying with him during phone calls from the states.

"Every time I called and asked how he was, and she would say she was worried about him.

She said she couldn't die with him, she didn't know what to do," Kim said.

"Cho's father and grandfather worried about that. Who would have known he would cause such trouble, the idiot," she added.

Cho's parents ran a small used-book store in Seoul before they left South Korea.

He and his family arrived in the US in 1992.

He was raised in suburban Washington, D.C., where his parents worked at a dry cleaners.

Cho's family did well enough as cleaners in Centreville, Va. to send both of their children to college.

Their daughter graduated from Princeton, University.

Meanwhile, South Koreans mourned the deaths of those killed in the Virginia Tech shootings at a special church service Thursday.

Some people fought back tears and said they fell guilty that a fellow South Korean was responsible for the massacre.

Church leader, Cardinal Cheong Jin-Suk, told his parishioners that he felt sorry that a Korean had committed such an atrocity.

"As a Korean I feel sorry that a Korean youth caused this shocking incident," said Cardinal Cheong.
