VA Tech Shooter Had Plenty of Ammo Left

Seung-Hui Cho appears to have had nearly half his ammunition left when he decided to kill himself rather than be captured by police in Norris Hall:

Police found 203 live rounds in Norris Hall, where Seung-Hui Cho killed 25 students and five faculty members before committing suicide on April 16, State Police Superintendent W. Steven Flaherty told a panel investigating the massacre. Cho also shot two other students elsewhere.

"He was well-prepared to continue on," Flaherty said.

Cho fired 174 shots from two handguns on the second floor in a span of nine minutes, taking his own life at 9:51 a.m. as police on the stairwell approached the floor, Flaherty said.

That means he fired off less than half the 377 rounds of ammunition he brought with him in to Norris Hall that fateful morning in April.

It would also seem to suggest that Cho knew that what he was doing was wrong and would not have been taken alive by police.
