Victims in Virginia Tech Massacre

They came to Blacksburg, Va., from all over the country — and all over the world. They came to study and they came to teach. They had plans. They had friends. They had families.

As the list of confirmed victims in Monday's massacre on the Virginia Tech campus grew, so too did the number of stories about the individuals who fell victim to the gunman, 23 year-old Cho Seung-Hui of Centreville, Va.

There was Liviu Librescu, an engineering science and mechanics lecturer who survived the Holocaust. His students say he blocked the door of his classroom with his body to protect those inside.

There was the popular and gregarious Ryan Clark, the resident advisor and member of the school's Marching Virginians band. Clark was one of the first killed in the rampage. Like others, he was weeks away from graduation.

There was Reema Samaha, a freshman who performed with the school's Contemporary Dance Ensemble. She was shot dead in French class.
