Has there been any statement from his family as far as how sorry they are over what happened? I've had Fox News on while working at home, and haven't heard ANYTHING about or from these people. If not one media person is parked on their lawn, what the Hell is going on? A Google search for "gunman's family" brings only articles on how tough his family had it in S. Korea, and the comments therein aren't even from family members. Members of South Korea's government have expressed their remorse and sympathies. Where is this guy's family? I don't recall the media being this quiet on the famlies of other school shooters. My question is why isn't the press on this like a hot potato? Has anybody got any further info on this?

I heard on local talk radio (during a commercial break) earlier that the parents are in the hospital, obviously so "distraught" over what has happened. No doubt in my mind that this is a strategy from their lawyer, to keep the parents away from the media and possible future lawsuits. The more "distraught" they appear to be (oh my goodness, they're in the hospital!), the more sympathy they'll gain from the populace and the victim's families.

Obviously they don't have any friends or other family members that can issue a statment. And I guess the creep's sister can't write any better than her brother so a statement from her is out of the question too. The silence from them on this whole thing is deafening. Sounds like it's all about THEM and their needs at this time. I guess their murdering son didn't fall too far from the tree after all.
