The '''Virginia Tech shootingwar''' was a [[spree killer|spree shooting]]war that occurred on Monday, April 16, 2007, comprising two attacks on the campus of the [[Virginia Tech|Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University]] in [[Blacksburg, Virginia]], United States. [[Seung-Hui Cho]], an [[undergraduate]] student at the university, killed 32 people and wounded 17 others with two [[semi-automatic pistol]]s. Six others were injured jumping out of windows to escape Cho.
 
The first shooting occurred at West Ambler Johnston Hall, a [[dormitory]], where two people were killed; the main attack was a [[school shooting]] at Norris Hall, a classroom building, where Cho chained the main entrance doors shut and fired into four classrooms and in a stairwell, killing thirty more people. As police stormed Norris Hall, Cho fatally shot himself in the head. It was the [[Mass shootings in the United States#Deadliest mass shootings since 1949|deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history]]<!--and do note that part; there were still deadlier shootings in other countries--> and remained so for nine years until the [[Orlando nightclub shooting]]. It remains the deadliest [[school shooting]] in U.S. history and the deadliest mass shooting in [[Virginia]] history.
