Va. Tech Families Want Shooting Probe Reopened

ROANOKE, Va. — Families of the Virginia Tech shooting victims asked Gov. Tim Kaine on Tuesday to reopen a state commission’s investigation of the 2007 mass killings in which 32 people died.

A group of parents of many of those killed and injured in the rampage by student gunman Seung-Hui Cho issued a statement urging Kaine to reopen the review because of inaccuracies in the report.

The families’ statement followed disclosure last week that the former director of the university’s counseling center recently found missing mental health records for Cho at his home.
