VIENNA, Va. (AP) - Susan Turner says she was frantic as she tried to call her daughter Maxine on Monday, the day of the Virginia Tech shootings. The calls never got through.
Maxine Turner was one of the 32 people killed by a gunman in the massacre. She was gunned down in her German class.
In an interview with The Associated Press, her mother, Susan Turner, says she wonders why school officials didn't do more about complaints about Seung-Hui Cho's bizarre behavior in the months before the shootings.
And Paul Turner believes that officials failed to protect his daughter and the other victims when they didn't lock down the campus after the first murders Monday morning. The grieving father saying "It should be safety first and to heck with the consequences."
Maxine Turner, a chemical engineering major, was to graduate next month.
