…goes to the Chosun for
Korean Hurt in Virginia College Massacre (timed at 8:39 KST, 17 April)
I guess it’s the pitfalls of reporting news as it happens. The next Chosun article on the topic reads:
Virginia Tech Shooter Was Korean (timed at 7:48 KST, 18 April).
In due course I’ll update this post with links to various news sources / commentary.

You know, most editors here took their eye off the ball. Korea had just been awarded the Asian Games.. and both stories - that the shooter was a Korean and the award of the games - broke about the same time.. It does not happen that often, but this really was a time when editors were screaming into the phone.. “Stop the press!”
