Gov: Some Va. Tech kin don't want panel renewed

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine says not all relatives of the 32 people slain at Virginia Tech want a state panel that reviewed the massacre reconvened.

Kaine said Thursday on his monthly radio show on Richmond's WRVA radio that volunteer panel members who want to get involved again may, but he can't order them back to work.

After missing mental health records of student gunman Seung-Hui Cho were uncovered recently, some relatives of the slain and wounded called on Kaine to reconvene the entire panel.

But Kaine said he's heard from other relatives who say they can't go through the ordeal again.

Among the panel's original conclusions was that the Virginia Tech campus should have been notified sooner that a killer was on the loose.
