 LITTLETON, Colo. (AP) - Virginia Tech shooter Cho Seung-Hui's homage to the Columbine High School killers has made preparations for Friday's eighth anniversary of the Colorado rampage all the more devastating, survivors and victims' relatives said.
In the video he mailed to NBC during a gap in Monday's fatal shootings of 32 people at Virginia Tech, Cho, 23, referred to "martyrs like Eric and Dylan" in a disjointed attempt to explain his motives for killing the others and himself.
The decision by NBC and other networks to air the footage drew immediate criticism from relatives of the Virginia Tech victims, but Columbine families said Cho's acknowledgment of high school shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold has made the anniversary all the more raw.
