Va. Tech families to meet with Kaine

For the second straight day, Gov. Timothy M. Kaine is expected to meet with families of those killed or injured during the 2007 mass shootings at Virginia Tech.

Kaine met with families in Chantilly on Saturday. On Sunday, he met with them at the state capitol.

The meetings are the first of three with the governor as part of a settlement to avoid lawsuits over the shootings by student Seung-Hui Cho, who took his own life after killing 32 students and faculty.

Meetings between the families and police who investigated the shootings and university administrators held prior to Kaine’s meetings were lengthy, with the longest lasting eight hours.

A Kaine spokesman says the governor plans to be available for as long as the families want to meet.
