RICHMOND, Va. — Virginia Tech senior Cho Seung-Hui walked into a Roanoke gun shop five weeks ago, put down a credit card and walked out with a Glock 19 handgun and a box of ammunition. He paid $571.
The Glock was one of two guns found with Cho's fingerprints after he fatally shot 32 people and then himself at the university in the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history.
Roanoke Firearms owner John Markell said his shop sold the Glock to Cho in March. The serial number had been scratched off, but federal agents traced it to the store using a receipt found in Cho's backpack.
"It was a very unremarkable sale," said Markell, who did not handle the sale personally. "He was a nice, clean-cut college kid. We won't sell a gun if we have any idea at all that a purchase is suspicious."
The shooting of over thirty people is not the only crime which was committed here. $571.00 is too damn much money for a single Glock 19 and a box of ammo.
