MSNBC on-air: "NBC News is becoming part of the story": Cho sent communication to NBC...
Edited on Wed Apr-18-07 03:59 PM by DeepModem Mom
with disturbing words and images, and it has been discovered. May shed light on two-hour delay between shootings. NBC has handed over to authorities, who are studying the communication, and are studying it themselves.

This is all the info the anchor gave, and there's no link.

UPDATE: Talking about it at Virginia Tech presser now.

It is video, and could be critical to investigation. Clarifying, it is writings and images.

NBC will report on it tonight.

MSNBC: It's believed in the two hours between shootings, Cho sent communication to NBC. Has been turned over to police and FBI. Multiple photos, video and rambling writings. Disturbing multi-page statement.

REPLAY: Communication was received "early today."

BOSTON.COM, per response #9 below: Communication was "mailed."

LINK NOW: Gunman contacted NBC News during massacre
Rambling communication, video being examined by FBI, network says

Sometime after he killed two people in a dormitory but before he slaughtered 30 more in a classroom building Monday morning, Cho Seung-Hui sent NBC News a rambling communication and videos about his grievances, the network said Wednesday.

Network officials turned the material over to the FBI and said they would not immediately disclose its contents pending the agency’s review beyond characterizing the material as “disturbing.” It included a written communication, photographs and video.

The network said it would release a statement shortly....

5. NBC gets to be the story!
How wonderful for them. I'm sure with this news there are many NBC staffers furiously masturbating at this point in the orgy of blood.
