The grandfather of the gunman in the Virginia Tech shooting massacre on Monday told two South Korean newspapers that his grandson, Cho Seung-Hui, "troubled" his parents as a young boy because he was so non-communicative. Cho's grandfather asked that he only be identified as Mr. Kim in an interview with Dong-A Ilbo.

"Seung-Hui troubled his parents when he was young because he wouldn't talk, but he was well-behaved," Kim said. "I don't know how I can compensate for the responsibility for raising my kids improperly....I don't know how he could do this when his parents went to a country far away and worked hard."

Cho's parents came to the United States 15 years ago without much money. They worked as dry cleaners.
