Steve Capus said the package arrived in Wednesday's morning mail delivery. The network turned the material over to FBI agents in New York. The package was mailed Monday at 9 am, an hour and 45 minutes after Cho's shooting of two people in the university dormitory - and before the 30 more he killed in a classroom building. Cho took his own life after the killing spree.
Capus told MSNBC that the package included a long, "rambling, manifesto-like statement embedded with a series of photographs." He described the material as "hard-to-follow... disturbing, very disturbing - very angry,
profanity-laced," he said. There was also a disc with videos that had a series of angry rants by Cho delivered directly to a camera.
NBC News released a photo of Cho posing with guns drawn. The network was planning to present more of the mailed material on
NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams.
