Hey, gang...

...I have a favor to ask.

In your reading of various news media and blogs, have you come across any mention of the VTech shooter's parents?

Thanks!

Only that they run a dry cleaning business.

[mlewys]

Where was that?

Cho - who arrived in the United States as boy from South Korea in 1992 and was raised in suburban Washington, D.C., where his parents worked at a dry cleaners - left a note that was found after the bloodbath.

OH, thank you! You get a gold star!

The only mention I've seen of them is that they owned a small business of some kind. It's odd that there's really been no information about them.

[mlewys]

Heh. Yeah.

Can you recall where you read that?

[badgerbabe]

It would either have been Yahoo! News or People.com. Those are the only two sites I check on a regular basis.

I also found this.

The radio station I listen in the morning mentioned that they had tried to commit suicide. The father supposedly slit his wrists and the mother took pills.

[mlewys]

I would love to have that confirmed in print media.

Wow.

Thanks!

Turns out that it was a rumor... Really hoped that it wasn't true.

[mlewys]

Yeah, me too.

I heard early on on MSNBC that they left their townhouse as soon as they knew their son had been involved in the shootings and went into hiding to avoid the media.

[mlewys]

That seems to be the case. Thanks!
