Emily Hilscher was a victim in the April 16 Virginia Tech massacre. She was in a relationship with the gunman, Cho Seung hui. Reportedly, Cho got into an argument with Emily in the early morning on Monday April 16th. Cho pulled out a gun and killed Emily, as well as a student advisor who had come to the room because of the argument. Later that day, Cho killed many other faculty and students in nearby Norris Hall.

BBC Reports on Emily Hilscher

BBC reports the following about Emily Hilscher , a victim of the Virginia tech shootings and ex-girlfriend of gunman Cho Seung-hui .


Emily Hilscher, 19, from Woodville, Virginia, was studying animal and poultry sciences, and was known in her hometown as an animal lover.

Some reports have suggested Emily was Cho's girlfriend, but police have denied this.

She lived on the same floor of West Ambler Johnston Hall as fellow victim Ryan Clark, where she was killed.

One friend said of her on Facebook: "She was so filled with life and always had something wonderful to say or was always making me smile."

If you could please change your info (even though this happened a while ago). Emily was NEVER in a relationship with the killer from VT. She dated Karl Thornhill for almost 3 years, and that was it. Cho was mentally ill for some time and just decided at one point to purchase a gun and shoot people. It had NOTHING to do with Emily. Thank you!!!
