Foreign Minister Song Min-soon today sent a personal letter to his U.S. counterpart
Condoleezza Rice to express condolences for the families and victims of a shooting
rampage at a U.S. university, calling it a tragedy that should have never taken place,
a Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
"I am deeply saddened that such a tragic incident has taken place and many innocent
lives were lost," the minister said in what the ministry spokesman called an unofficial
letter of condolence.
The Seoul government was put on high alert, and thrown into much shock, since the
suspected shooter, who killed 32 people and wounded dozens more before killing
himself at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, was identified as a South Korean student who
moved to the United States in 1992 with his parents.
