Inside the Mind of a Killer

Pictured left are Seung-Hui Cho's dormitory roommates, Joseph Aust and Karan Grewel.Joseph Aust and Karan Grewal, steered clear of Cho when they lived with him. They said Cho was quiet and didn't interact with them.

"He pretty much never talked at all," Aust said. "I tried to make conversation with him earlier in the year. … He gave one-word answers. He pretty much never looked me in the eye."

Though Cho's behavior was always strange, Aust said he noticed some changes in recent weeks.

"The last couple weeks [he] was getting up at 6 [in the morning] or even 5:30," Aust said. "And a couple of days ago, he actually got back to the room at about 2 in the afternoon and slept until 5 the next day."

Cho also had an imaginary girlfriend named "Jelly," who was a supermodel, said those roommates.

Cho's roommates said they didn't think they could have done anything differently to reach out to Cho and change what had happened.

"After the freshman year, you don't probe too much if people don't actively converse with you," roommate Grewal said . "I think I'd be scared if I tried any harder. I could have made him angry and act violently towards me."

Do you think that it is possible to reach out to a person, regardless of their mental state, or are there some people that are going to accomplish what they set out to do regardless?
