This morning, Governor Tim Kaine released a revised version of the Virginia Tech Review Panel Report originally released in August 2007, roughly four months after student Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 Virginia Tech students and faculty members. (Here is a link to the full report, in .pdf form.) The New York Times, which received the updated copy yesterday evening, summarizes the revisions to the 210-page report here.
The prominent revisions, notes the Times, create "a more detailed timeline chronicling the actions of the local police and university officials as the shootings unfolded." The timeline now includes the finding that "at least two members of the university’s Policy Group…let their own families know of the first two shootings…more than 90 minutes before the group warned the rest of the campus." Those calls were placed at approximately 8:05am on the morning of the shooting, according to the report; the e-mail from Virginia Tech administrators to staff and students was sent at approximately 9:26am. A complete timeline accompanies the report.
