When Cho broke through the barricade and entered the room, a student named Matthew La Porte, who was also a trained ROTC Cadet, charged the gunman and died after taking heavy fire in an attempt to save lives (he was later posthumously awarded the Airman's Medal for his actions). According to the Virginia Tech Review Panel's report, eleven of the sixteen students died in Room 211 and the six students who survived, including spokespeople and activists Kristina Anderson and Colin Goddard, all suffered gunshot wounds. However, one of the survivors, Clay Violand, stated that he played dead and escaped without injury. Cho reloaded and re-entered several of the classrooms. After Cho's first entry to Room 207, several students had barricaded the door and had begun tending to the wounded. When Cho returned minutes later, Katelyn Carney and Derek O'Dell were injured while holding the door closed. Cho also returned to Room 206, Loganathan's room. According to a student eyewitness, the movements of a wounded Waleed Shaalan (from Egypt) distracted Cho from a nearby student after the shooter had returned to the room. Shaalan was shot a second time and died. Also in Room 206, Partahi Lumbantoruan (from Indonesia) may have shielded fellow student Guillermo Colman from more serious injury. Colman's various accounts make it unclear whether this act was intentional or the involuntary result of Lumbantoruan being shot. Students barricaded the door of Room 205 with a large table after substitute professor Haiyan Cheng () and a student saw Cho heading toward them. Cho shot through the door several times but failed to force his way in. No one in the classroom was wounded or killed. Hearing the commotion on the floor below, Professor Kevin Granata took twenty students from a third-floor classroom into his office where the door could be locked. He then went downstairs to investigate along with another professor named Wally Grant until they both were shot by Cho on the stairwell. Professor Wally was wounded and survived, but Granata died of his injuries. None of the students locked in Granata's office were hurt. Approximately ten to twelve minutes after the second attack began, Cho returned in Room 211— Professor Nowak's Intermediate French class—when he shot himself in his right temple with the Glock 19 and died instantly as police started to enter Norris Hall, perhaps after hearing a police officer's shotgun go off. When police arrived at the doorway of Room 211, they saw Cho lying right in the doorway, in which some students, who were injured or playing dead, heard the officer's first word: "Gunman down!"
