BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — The gunman suspected of carrying out the Virginia Tech massacre that left 33 people dead was identified Tuesday as a senior English major from South Korea. But police and university officials offered no clue to his motive.

“He was a loner, and we’re having difficulty finding information about him,” school spokesman Larry Hincker said, a day after the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history.
