Cho went to psychiatric hospital in 2005


From ABC News:

A Virginia district court found that Virginia Tech killer Seung-Hui Cho was "mentally ill" and an "imminent danger to others," according to a 2005 temporary detention order obtained by ABC News.

Virginia Tech police say Cho was taken to a nearby psychiatric hospital for evaluation in December 2005, after two female schoolmates said they received threatening messages from him and police and school officials became concerned that he might be suicidal.


This information came to light today.
