弗州理工血案死者来自北京
多维社记者吕贤修报导／“校方昨晚已紧急联络死者在中国的母亲。根据7位目击证人，事发之前，两人并无口角。搜索嫌犯住处后，目前正进一步调查动机。”弗吉尼亚理工大学校方表示。
21日晚间发生于弗吉尼亚理工大学的华人血案。22日中午，校方发言人Larry Hincker对多维记者表示，校方已于昨晚紧急联络死者在中国的母亲。
目前已确认死者名为杨馨（Xin Yang，音译），22岁，来自北京，09年1月8日入学，生前为该校商学院研究生，主修会计。
嫌犯朱海洋（Haiyang Zhu，音译），25岁，来自宁波，博士研究生，08年秋天入学，主修农业及应用经济。

弗州理工血案死者杨馨。
校警发言人对多维表示，周三晚间7点6分，校警接获报案，指一位亚裔女性在Graduate Life Center宿舍一楼的Au Bon Pain咖啡店受到攻击。大约4分钟后，校警到达现场，发现涉嫌行凶的朱海洋以及涉案的一把沾有血迹的水果刀。当时杨馨已无生命迹象，朱海洋则被当场逮捕。
有鉴于07年的校园枪击血案，校警立刻启动电子通讯警报系统，对全校师生发出约4万封电子邮件及手机简讯。大约40分钟后，才再度发出短讯解除警报。
朱海洋目前被拘留于Montgomery监狱，并被控以一级谋杀，不得交保。
警方对多维表示，根据已访问的现场7位目击证人，事发之前，两人并无口角。警方已搜索嫌犯住处，但暂时不能公开结果。嫌犯并无任何犯罪纪录。根据校方纪录，朱海洋是杨馨登记的紧急联络人之一，因此证实两人相识。目前，警方正进一步调查行凶动机。
校方发言人表示，这件谋杀案让许多师生联想起07年4月韩裔学生赵承熙的枪杀事件。为了平息恐慌，校长已对全体师生宣布这是单独事件，是件个人悲剧。一切课程今早已恢复正常，命案现场仍封锁中，但学生已能自由进出该栋建筑。校方目前鼓励目击学生，以及对谋杀事件感到恐惧的师生，可以寻校方的心理辅导系统接受谘询。
根据多维记者了解，朱海洋也是该校农业及应用经济系助教，教授大学部每周二、四上午的农产品行销课程。负责该课程的助理教授Denise Mainville对多维表示，她对此事件感到惊讶与哀伤，但不愿对当事人进一步评论。
与朱海洋同系的唯一一位华裔教授游雯（Wen You），接到多维记者电话，同样对此事感到难过。虽与朱海洋相识，但她不愿多谈。
该校中国学者学生联谊会，至22日下午，尚未回复多维的询问。

弗吉尼亚理工大学研究生生活中心门口
环球时报1月22日报道据美国媒体21日消息，弗吉尼亚理工大学一名中国留学生因涉嫌刺死女性朋友被捕。这是继震惊世界的2007年韩籍学生赵承熙枪击事件后，发生在弗吉尼亚理工大学的又一次校园恶性事件。
据弗吉尼亚理工大学官方网站消息，当地时间21日下午7点06分，弗吉尼亚理工大学警方接到报警说，一名女性在该校研究生生活中心咖啡厅遇刺。警方7点10分赶到现场后，发现了尚未离开的疑犯，随即将其逮捕。
报道说，疑犯是来自中国的男研究生朱海洋(Haiyang Zhu)，现年25岁。美联社报道说，遇刺女性来自亚洲，也是弗理工学生，在警方抵达现场时已经死亡。警方初步调查显示，疑犯和死者互相认识。
据报道，警方在现场还发现了朱海洋所用的刀具。目前朱海洋被控一级谋杀，且不得保释。
环球时报记者联系认识朱海洋的弗理工中国留学生后得知，朱海洋是08年秋季进入弗理工攻读农业经济学博士学位的。中国留学生表示，朱海洋平时温和友善，待人热情，他做出这样的事情可能只是一时冲动。
弗吉尼亚理工大学位于华盛顿西南390公里处，已有130多年历史。2007年4月16日，弗吉尼亚理工大学曾发生恶性校园枪击案，23岁的韩国籍学生赵承熙在开枪打死32人后自杀身亡。
目前，朱海洋被关押在警局，警方没有透露受害者的具体信息，学校正尝试联系受害者家属，但仍没有结果。受害者所居住的研究生生活中心已经被警戒，校方的领导称，住在生活中心的100多名学生仍然可以自由出入宿舍，其他人则被告知暂时不要接近这一区域，学校准备在22日早上重新开放这里。该校其他区域，师生仍可正常活动。
弗州理工又生血案：中国男生朱海洋校园杀人
大公报讯/据美联社弗吉尼亚布莱克斯堡二十二日消息：继震惊世界的二○○七年韩裔学生赵承熙枪杀案后，美国弗吉尼亚理工大学二十一日再次发生血案，一名女生被刺死，疑凶是一名中国留学生，现已被警方拘捕并被控以一级谋杀罪。
被害者是一名亚裔女研究生，她于二十一日晚在校园内的「研究生生活中心」咖啡厅被人用刀刺死。校警接报后于七时零六分抵达现场，发现了尚未离开的男疑犯以及一把疑为凶器的刀子，随即将其拘禁。
报道说，疑犯是来自中国的研究生朱海洋（音），现年二十五岁。朱海洋随后被控以一级谋杀罪，受审前不准保释。警方初步调查显示，疑犯和死者互相认识。据悉，朱海洋是二○○八年秋季进入弗吉尼亚理工大学攻读博士学位的。中国留学生表示，朱海洋平时温和友善，待人热情，他做出这样的事情可能只是一时冲动。警方在七时四十五分左右，要求「研究生生活中心」的学生依照校方利用电子警报系统发出的指示，留在原位，在大约一个小时后才能走动。
弗吉尼亚理工大学，是弗吉尼亚州最大的大学，佔地约二千六百英亩，拥有逾百栋建筑，目前有八个学院，近百个科系，全职学生约二万五千人，学校年预算达九亿美元。近千名来自中国、韩国及日本等地的亚裔留学生正在该学院就读。
二○○七年四月十六日，该校二十三岁的韩裔学生赵承熙在校园内乱枪扫射，导致三十二人丧生，事后吞枪自杀。它是美国历史上死亡人数最多的校园枪击桉，也是美国建国二百多年来最严重的枪击事件。校方在这宗桉件后为让学生尽快得知校内的严重突发事件，不再依赖原有的电邮警报，而利用手机短讯等其他通讯媒介发布警报。去年十一月，该校一座宿舍附近有一支钉枪的弹药筒爆炸，发出近似枪声的巨响，校方于是首次利用新的电子警报系统把事件通知学生。
Update: Further information on the murder at the Graduate Life Center at Donaldson Brown

Virginia Tech Murder: Female Student Fatally Stabbed, Suspect Caught
January 21, 2009 11:23 PM EST |
BLACKSBURG, Va. — A female student was stabbed to death Wednesday night on Virginia Tech’s campus, the first killing at the school since a deadly mass shooting there in 2007.
The killing triggered a crisis notification system that was revamped after the shooting rampage, beaming an electronic warning around 7:45 p.m. that students should stay in place while police investigated. Students were told about an hour later they could resume normal activity.
A male suspect was taken into custody around 7:10 p.m., according to a university news release. Campus police responding to an emergency call found the man and a knife they believe was used at the scene, a cafe in the Graduate Life Center.
Both the victim and the suspect are graduate students at Virginia Tech, and police believe they knew each other, the school said.
Further details weren’t immediately released, and university officials didn’t immediately return a phone message left seeking comment.
Virginia Tech added text messages and other ways of warning students of possible danger to its system of e-mail alerts after gunman Seung-Hui Cho took 32 lives before turning the gun on himself in an April 2007 rampage.
The revamped alert system was first used last November when an exploded cartridge from a nail gun produced sounds similar to gunfire near a dormitory. During that scare, police searched a residence hall before determining the sounds came from the tool.
