Zotsatira zake, wophunzira aliyense amalumikizidwa mophiphiritsa ndi yemwe adamaliza maphunziro awo ku Virginia Tech. Zithunzi ndi makanema zidatengedwa ndikuyika pazama media, ndikudziwitsa abwenzi, anzanu akusukulu komanso anthu pamwambo womwe umawoneka kuti sakudziwa. Chofunika kwambiri, madzulowo adapangitsa ophunzira omwe adapezekapo kuti aganizire za tsogolo lawo komanso kutenga nawo mbali m'tsogolo mu mphete zakalasi zawo.
