Well, so far, this is the first printed mention of hi cap mags on a news site...but I'm still looking...

Because he killed and injured so many victims in a short span of time, some people speculated that Cho used high-capacity magazines containing as many as 33 rounds in each clip.
So it seems 'some people' speculated this, and so maybe others reported it and forgot the 'speculation' part???
Here's one that says 'probably' had 33 rds

Shooter's guns ...
The guns used by 23-year-old Cho Seung-Hui were weapons probably fitted with high-capacity magazines able to hold 33 rounds per clip.
Here's one that state it 'could' hold 33rds

or even those who might indict the shopkeeper who sold Cho the Glock 9mm pistol that could hold up to 33 rounds:
Well, I can't find anything definitive, just a bunch of duplicates to the above, speculation, could hold, can hold, possibly might hold, etc.

Law enforcement officials say that the Glock Cho used had a 15-round ammunition magazine, banned under the federal assault weapons ban that expired in 2004. Several empty magazines were recovered at the scene.
"If you have four or five rounds in a clip rather than 15, the shooter has to reload and reload," said Brian Malte, with the Brady Campaign, a gun safety group. "That gives someone an opportunity to do something to stop him."

trashing glocks? ....you just dont know any better, ive worked in 2 gunshoped, owned EVERYTHING....there is nothing more reliable than a glock, has few parts than any other, LOW bore axis.......and the ONLY handgun that can be 100% stripped complete in under few mins WITHOUT tools.
Nobody is going to ban anything without your consent. Are you going to consent or are you going to explain to your representatives that you will replace them if they do not express your will?
It sounds simple, and in some ways it is; but at the end of the day, that is what it comes down to. Nobody can ban anything unless you allow them to.
My question is, he had to have gone to slide lock at some point, why did no one realize he was at slide lock and rush the guy?

That makes the high killed-to-wounded ratio make a lot more sense. At least 170 rounds fired, if all mags were empty.Just said on the news they found 17 mags in the school
But inside the classroom building, investigators say they found a surprising number of handgun magazines, or clips — 17. Some, officials say, were high-capacity magazines that hold 33 rounds. That means, investigators say, that Cho may have fired at least 200 times during his killing spree on Monday.
My question is, he had to have gone to slide lock at some point, why did no one realize he was at slide lock and rush the guy? Ok, he had the 22 also, well, if he had both guns in his hands how was he able to reload one of them? Something here doesn't add up. We don't even know if no one did try to stop him. Someone might have but we'll not know any of this until the investigation is over. If he still had ammo, why was it that he didn't continue? We the public may never know all the facts.
