Seung-Hui Cho had some interaction with counseling

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- A mentally ill student who killed 32 people and himself during the April 16th shooting spree at Virginia Tech had ... quote ... "some interaction" ... with the campus counseling center. That's according to Gerald Massengill, chairman of a governor's panel studying the killings. But Massengill says it's still unclear whether gunman Seung-Hui Cho actually received treatment at Virginia Tech's Cook Counseling Center. In 2005, a special justice found Cho to be a danger to himself and ordered him into outpatient treatment. The panel recently obtained Cho's university mental health records. But Massengill says the records don't have enough detail in them to indicate whether Cho received counseling at the center. Massengill said the records the panel has received do list when Cho interacted with the counseling center, but patient privacy laws prevent him from publicly releasing such information.
