Authorities Probe Potential Connection Between Shootings, Bomb Threats

Investigators found a note left in the shooter's dorm room, said a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation.

"It's sort of a manifesto" said the source, who described the note as a rambling and somewhat incoherent list of grievances. Among the people that Cho attacked in the note were those he considered rich, spoiled students, the source said.

"It was just sort of against the world," the source said.

The source also said investigator's believe there was a connection between the shootings and recent bomb threats on campus and are "trying to nail it down."
