Mr. Cho Seung-Hui, a 23 year old South Korean student at Virginia tech shot 32 people and himself on April 16, 2007. This incidence of shooting has been claimed to be the deadliest shooting rampage in the history of America. During his childhood years, Cho began to show signs of mental health issues and had been identified of having "selective mutism." He had problem socializing with people and thus was known as a student who merely kept to himself. Ever since Middle School, Cho began to show violence in his writings and got the attention of the teachers. He was prescribed some medication and eventually symptoms of violent and aggressive behavior began to abate. Even though, teachers had reported Cho of having mental issues during his time at Virginia Tech; no such attention was paid to his odd behavior. Cho had quit taking his medicines that were prescribed earlier and thus he was not put through any medical intervention. In 2005, Cho had been identified as a dangerous person rendering him ineligible to purchase a gun under federal law. Despite all of that, he still managed to purchase two guns that were used in the Virginia shootings.

Sitting through an hour-long lecture or waiting in line to speak with financial aid are some examples of an average day on campus. It is during these times when students are least expecting tragedy to strike. A student may hear a loud noise and think nothing of it until they realize that noise was the sound of a shooting rampage that has reached their area and by that time it’s usually too late. Campus safety is everyone’s responsibility and remaining on alert is the only way to ensure less people are victimized. One of the first, and most memorable, attacks happened on August 1, 1966. Charles Whitman, a former marine, took rifles and other weapons to the observation deck atop the Main Building tower at The University of Texas- Austin, then randomly opened fire on the surrounding campus and streets. Over the next 96 minutes, far longer than the average active shooter attack, he shot and killed fifteen people. Included in the death toll was one unborn child, and injured thirty-one others. The incident ended when police reached Whitman and shot him dead. During this event, civilians played a vital role in assisting first responders in the take down of Whitman and Allen Crum, a 40-year-old bookstore manager and retired Air Force tail gunner, accompanied police up the tower in pursuit of Whitman. While Crum was armed, it solely because officers handed him a firearm to assist in Whitman’s take down.

Photographers often capture horrific events with a well-known background in order to convey messages that are not explicitly stated. As a student during the Kent College shooting, John Filo was able to capture the aftermath of the National Guard shootings. Officers shot at protesters who were voicing their opinions on the Vietnam War. Filo utilizes components such as the framing of the photo to draw the audience to a focal point as well as using the context surrounding the image in order to provoke strong emotions and demonstrate the unjust and problematic society.

Will there ever be an end to gun violence? Bowling for Columbine is a documentary by Michael Moore that demonstrates how gun violence is transforming America into a dangerous country. Michael Moore plays with the emotions of the American public by centering his documentary on the tragedy of Columbine. He explores the reasons as to why gun violence is at an all time high in America by listing his ideas in a personal way rather than being professional like in most documentaries. However, the way that he directs his film captured my attention and made me question as to why there is so much gun violence in America.

During the month of January 2013, Carlton Berry was accused of opening fire at Lone Star College. He was accused of shooting two people before wounding himself in the leg. Even though it came to be known in the course of the investigation that it was really not Carlton Berry who was involved, but Trey Foster, the question arises as to whether guns should be allowed in colleges. This lone incidence that happened at Lone Star Community College reflects the April 16th, the year 2007 where there was a shooting on the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute along with State University. In this incidence, a student by the name Seung-hui opened fire on unsuspecting scholars killing approximately 32 people and wounding many others before he

Next, On April 16, 2007, Cho Seung Hui, a student at Virginia Tech College, apparently had nowhere else to turn in his life other than to go on a massive killing spree. According to CNN News, a timeline of exactly what happened during the massacre was explained. It all began at 7:15am in the West Ambler Johnston Hall, which houses close to 900 students, a 911 call was made claiming that two students had been shot. Between the hours of 7:30am and 9am police and school board members discussed who on earth would possibly do something like this. Shortly after the school began to send students notices via email to notify them of the shootings. Around 9:45am another 911 call was made claiming that more shootings had taken place in the Norris Hall and this time 31 students were killed including Cho, who shot himself after going on the viscous rampage. Several messages were sent to the students of Virginia Tech notifying them of the second shootings via email. Shortly after noon the president of the college released information that classes

The article I choose first explains/summarizes the Las Vegas shooting committed by Stephen Paddock to show that there is gun violence. As well as saying that starting in 1934 some rules have been set for gun control by congress, but by 1994 the want for gun control has lowered. The author talks about a bill that Republicans actually support that would ban bump stock, but this wouldn’t bring down gun violence at all. Another big problem with gun control is background checks and the mentally ill being able to easily get guns because of the flawed checks. A problem gun advocates and those against would support is having stronger background checks, 84% of Americans support this. 138 new gun laws have been put into place in 42 states ever since

Columbine and Virginia Tech were definitely two of the biggest, but not one of the first mass shootings on school grounds. On August 1, 1966, a mass shooting took place at the University of Texas. A 25 ex-marine named Charles Whitman, who majored in architectural engineering, murdered his mother and wife that morning. Whitman climbed on top of the UT Tower and started firing. “The crime scene spanned the length of five city blocks… and covered the nerve of what was then a relatively small, quiet college town.”

Nevertheless, Susan family, in contrast, which is a traditional family, members include a father and a mother, and her biological son, Dylan. It is true that Dylan will have a better life than Kevin, ironically, he became a person who “could shoot someone” (Susan, par 1). According to his mother, “as a young child, Dylan made parenting easy” that means that Dylan has been a good guy. So a reason why made him change like this, “could shoot someone”. After this, looking back his background, he had parents who have enough good condition for caring their child carefully, he also had a good environmental growth, as well as full educated. In generally, Dylan would like other ones, acept these common things to develop his own ability, but he did not,
