"He shot those people. No! No! I'm going to pass out!"
This is what Voong's sister said when contacted today.

When first asked about her brother she said he was not at home at the Center taking classes.

When told what her brother was accussed of doing, she said, "He shot those people? No! NO! I'm going to pass out!"

Horrible for the victims and their families.

And I also feel sad for this young woman as her tone seemed to be one of total shock and disbelief.

I hope the media will give them all some space, but that is doubtful.




no link: saw it ABC News.

3. Ppl lose their jobs everyday but he had no right to kill others in return
Asian culture and family shame, I wouldn't be surprised if one or more of his family commit suicide.

7. I'm pretty sure I didn't say he had the right to kill anyone.
And since I don't know which Asian culture he belonged to, or what faith the family followed, I would be hesitant to plan any funerals in advance.

4. I doubt it, he had apparently been here for 28 years.
Naturalized citizen, I think.

"Zikuski didn't name the man believed to be the shooter, but said the prime suspect was known to frequent the Civic Association."
