In April 2007, Cho Seung-Hui went on a shooting spree and killed 33 people at the Virginia Tech Campus. He later mailed a video to NBC News where he presented himself as a persecuted martyr in a rambling and paranoid multimedia message.
In December 2005, a Virginia judge had considered Cho as an imminent danger to himself and the judge found Cho to be mentally ill.
