Virginia Tech is keeping secret some of the key material about the April 2007 killing rampage of Seung-Hui Cho even though it reached a settlement with victims’ families to make essential facts public, the Richmond Times Dispatch reported. The newspaper obtained some 20,000 pages through the Freedom of Information Act but said the university will not release notes of senior university leaders at an emergency meeting that morning nor a box of records related to Cho.
