Someone asked why we always include a HELP form like the one pictured to the left. We replied neither we nor anyone else has a model that predicts black swan events like the one that occurred Monday, April 16, 2007 on the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. In two separate attacks, approximately two hours apart, the perpetrator, Seung-Hui Cho, killed 32 people and wounded 25 others before killing himself. Cho, a senior English major, had previously been diagnosed with a severe anxiety disorder. During much of his middle school and high school years, he received therapy and
special education support and had IEPs. Due to federal privacy laws, Virginia Tech was not informed of Cho's previous diagnosis nor the accommodations he had been granted at school. He was able to purchase a gun despite being adjudicated as mentally ill.
