Girl Gets Decapitated at Virginia Tech

[exodus]

WASHINGTON (AFP) – A female Chinese graduate student was decapitated by a fellow student in a campus cafe at Virginia Tech, the scene of the worst school shooting in US history in 2007, police said.

At approximately 7:00 pm Wednesday (0000 GMT Thursday), Yang Xin, a 22-year-old graduate student from Beijing, was killed at an Au Bon Pain cafe on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, Virginia, university officials said.

They added that emergency contact records suggest that Yang and the student who murdered her, Zhu Haiyang from Ningbo, China, knew each other. According to officials, witnesses said Zhu, 25, attacked Yang with a knife.

"There were seven witnesses in the cafe. There had been no argument, no shouting" when the young woman was attacked, said Virginia Tech spokesman Mark Owczarski, confirming that Yang had been decapitated.

The Collegiate Times, the university's newspaper, said police received a 911 emergency call minutes after the assault and the officer who arrived at the scene found Yang's head had been cut off. The murder weapon, a large kitchen knife, was found at the scene.

In a copy of a police affidavit published by the Collegiate Times, the officer said that when she arrived at the scene she found Zhu holding Yang's head in his hand.

"This is horrible and tragic. Especially when we know that Virginia Tech has got its share of hardship and horror," Owczarski said.

In April 2007, Cho Seung-Hui, a 23-year-old Virginia Tech student born in South Korea, shot 32 fellow classmates and teachers to death before killing himself.

"Once again we are challenged as a community to offer support to one another as we process this recent event. Once again we will rise to the occasion," Virginia Tech president Charles Steger said in a statement, saying the university community was "shocked" by the murder.

In a condolence statement, Virginia Governor Tim Kaine said that the latest attack "has no doubt revived terrible memories for countless members of the Hokie family."

Zhu was charged with first-degree murder and was being held at a county jail. He had not had a record with university or local police, the school indicated.

Yang had arrived at Virginia Tech in early January to begin studies in accounting. Zhu was a PhD graduate student in agriculture and applied economics.

[Det_Nosnip]

[Already_Taken]

[Junooni]

I go to VT, just not this semester. The ABP where it happened was my usual study spot..

there's a very good chance I would have been there. Three of my friends were actually headed into the building right when it happened.

[Mr. Ron]

[adb]

Virginia Nech

bazing

[StrangeVision]

Sputnik: We make you laugh at beheadings (as long as Asians are involved).

But really, that's pretty messed up. Not a god era for VT, I guess.

[Meatplow]

they should stop accepting asians into that damn school

[honourosis]

[Rams]

[CarnageFairy]

Some people I went to highschool with, and one kid I've known for a very long time all go to VT.

Suckers.

[bringonthebreakdown]

[hismajestythepope]

prolly just 2 crazy people who happen to be asian and in college (surprising, i know) at VT

they did it because theyre asian

[MattSharpIsCool]

Wait, no one else there did anything to stop him?

Would you try and stop a crazed asian guy wielding a large kitchen knife who is sawing the head off of another student?

Because I wouldn't. I would run out the door as fast as I could.

[guitrguy]

Some people I went to highschool with... go there

Suckers.

same

[Iscariot]

Wait, no one else there did anything to stop him?

I would have, but my balls are made of solid steel. Most people would run away terrified.

[hismajestythepope]

same

whoa me too, but the kids like 6'8 and 400 lbs and just really nice, so i doubt any nut would **** with him, plus this was a really ****ed up bizarre one time incident.

[siva_chair]

I would have shot him.

[Iscariot]

whoa me too, but the kids like 6'8 and 400 lbs and just really nice, so i doubt any nut would **** with him, plus this was a really ****ed up bizarre one time incident.

So was the shooting at VT, and then this happened. TBH, Asians can't be trusted.

[Already_Taken]

thats what i hear

[hismajestythepope]

So was the shooting at VT, and then this happened. TBH, Asians can't be trusted.

Well yeah, no doubt, but clearly VT will banish all gooks for this idiocy.

[Surgicalgod]

"This is horrible and tragic.

I read that as horrible taste in music.

but anyway why are all vt asians crazy?

[Jude]

Christ

VT won't allow Asians anymore

Anyways I have a friend down there and when the shooting was going on she was on AIM with me telling how she'd heard there were two shooters and the secret service was brought in and **** it was crazy

*weeer weeeeeeerrrrooww*
just the facts ma'am

[Prince of Darkness]

why can't I find this on any of the news channels?

[Rams]

Because I wouldn't. I would run out the door as fast as I could.

If it meant saving someone else's life, yes I would.

[McP3000]

i would be so paranoid if i went to VT

[siva_chair]

I would carry a gun.

Oh wait....

[Mr. Ron]

I would just throw some manga's at him and he'd drop the knife

[McP3000]

trust me i one of the first people in line when it comes to letting people carry concealed weapons, but i must also say that in your perfect world, VT would have the right to ban the carrying of weapons on campus...which im not necessarily against. So i think carrying guns on college campuses aren't ever going to be a reality.

@siva

[Mr. Ron]

I'm pretty split on students being able to carry on campus. Even thought there's an ROTC building on my campus with about 50 M16's.

[siva_chair]

@siva

Yes you are right, and it is perfectly within their rights to ban firearms on their property.

[Mr. Ron]

ban azns instead

[siva_chair]

They should have that right too (but it isn't really completely private property so....)

[Iskandar]

I dunno, I think banning minorities might not be at the top of most people's lists right now as far as private property rights go.

[Mr. Ron]

you're either with us or the azns Alex.

[siva_chair]

No most people probably wouldn't ban them, but they should be allowed to if it tickles their fancy.

[Permanent Solution]

I dunno, I think banning minorities might not be at the top of most people's lists right now as far as private property rights go.

um have you been to college lately? azns are almost the majority nowadays

[Mr. Ron]

I would love to ban women from my college since 90% of them are over privileged airheads. Then the true patriarchal throne shall be inherited by me.

[McP3000]

i would ban the letter "H" on my private property in Siva's world

i have the right you know

[siva_chair]

He lives in Canada. I hear Asians can't survive in that kind of cold climate.

[interviewer02]

she must have been a bitch.

[siva_chair]

i would ban the letter "H" on my private property in Siva's world

i have the right you know

Yes you do and don't let anyone tell you differently.

[Jude]

Uh you do

albeit not the means to enforce the ban

[Iskandar]

He lives in Canada. I hear Asians can't survive in that kind of cold climate.The 2006 census indicates 46.9% of Toronto's population is visible minorities; 1,162,630 non-Whites, or 23% of Canada's visible minority population, live in Toronto; of this, approximately 70% originate from Asia alone???

[spitfirejunky]

they Should Stop Accepting Asians Into That Damn School

123

[jaredong]

/azn in toronto

though honestly, some chinese dudes are wierdos.

[McP3000]

Yes you do and don't let anyone tell you differently.
rise my brother
Uh you do

albeit not the means to enforce the ban
i have my Texas state gun rights what do you mean i cant enforce it

[Dethklok1]

Nelson: Haha!

[Time]

I was talking about this with someone today, and they were saying Asians are more ashamed and reluctant to seek mental health treatment because of their cultural values. might not directly apply to this incident, just an interesting point

[siva_chair]

???

It was a joke mang don't hurt your brain over it.

[Sk0rpi0n]

Every now and then I get myself into trouble for saying that it will be awesome when somebody finally beats the "Virginia Tech" record.

But this definitely takes the record for most bad-*** school killing.

Although it is strikingly similar to the Greyhound kill a few months back when an Asian decapitated a dude on a bus. Weird.

[Already_Taken]

It was a joke mang don't hurt your brain over it.

asians cant survive in cold climates. LOLLLLOLOL how did you think oF that?!?!! lolol:lol:

[samarahah]

2 asians commit homicide out of how many? its coincidence. you guys who seriously think "banning asians" will solve anything are naive.

[gregulus]
