DEKALB, Illinois (CNN) -- A firearms dealer in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Friday confirmed a bizarre link between the graduate student accused of killing five people at Northern Illinois University and the gunman in last year's deadly shootings at Virginia Tech.
A Web site used to buy gun accessories by Steven Kazmierczak is owned by the same company that operates a site patronized by Seung-Hui Cho, the company said.
Kazmierczak ordered two 9 mm Glock magazines and a holster for a Glock handgun from the Web site February 4, said a statement released by TGSCOM Inc.
He received them February 12, two days before the NIU shootings, it said.
"TGSCOM Inc. also operates the Web site used by Seung-Hui
to purchase a firearm used in the Virginia Tech shootings last April," the statement said.
Cho killed 32 people before turning a gun on himself in that incident.
