There's a bizarre connection between the recent Illinois campus
rampage and last year's massacre at Virginia Tech. The Illinois shooter
bought his guns from the same source, according to CNN:
DEKALB,
Illinois (CNN) -- A firearms dealer in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Friday
confirmed a bizarre link between the graduate student accused of
killing five people at Northern Illinois University and the gunman in
last year's deadly shootings at Virginia Tech.
A Web site used
to buy gun accessories by Steven Kazmierczak is owned by the same
company that operates a site patronized by Seung-Hui Cho, the company
said.
Kazmierczak ordered two 9 mm Glock magazines and a holster
for a Glock handgun from the Web site February 4, said a statement
released by TGSCOM Inc.
He received them February 12, two days before the NIU shootings, it said.
"TGSCOM
Inc. also operates the Web site used by Seung-Hui [Cho] to purchase a
firearm used in the Virginia Tech shootings last April," the statement
said.
Cho killed 32 people before turning a gun on himself in that incident.
I
doubt that this is some hideous coincidence. My personal hypothesis is
that he bought them from that source on purpose and planned the attack
as a copycat. With the way the media gave everything the Virginia Tech
shooter wanted in fame and attention, it's no shock that someone would
repeat a similar massacre.
