To weigh in briefly on the matter of the press: the video is information and qualifies as news. It sheds light on a question that almost everyone has been asking, and the fact that its message is less than reassuring - that its explanation of the killer provides no solace for us - is no reason to ask that it be kept from public view.
I do empathize with Pragma's description of the physical media frenzy now surrounding the campus. I wish those journalists could show a little more restraint, though having never worked in media I can't particularly comment on what it takes to produce information and how that is reconciled with respecting people's right to a bit of distance and privacy.
