Report: Space Adventures CEO’s Daughter Injured in Virginia Tech Shootings

The daughter of Space Adventures CEO Eric Anderson was among those injured Monday at Virginia Tech, where a student gunman killed 32 people and himself in the deadliest campus shooting in recent U.S. history.

Anderson's step-daughter Kristina Heeger underwent surgery for three gunshot wounds following the Virginia Tech shooting in Blacksburg, Virginia, and is reportedly doing well, according to his assistant Terese Brewster.

"She is in stable condition and the prognosis is good," Brewster told Space News in an e-mail.

Brewster wrote that Heeger underwent surgery Monday afternoon.

Based in Vienna, Virginia, Anderson's Space Adventures firm offers spaceflight experiences ranging from weightless flights aboard modified jets to orbital trips to the International Space Station (ISS).

The firm arranged the current spaceflight of U.S. entrepreneur Charles Simonyi, who is paying between $20 million and $25 million to visit the space station, under an agreement with Russia's Federal Space Agency. He will return to Earth with two ISS Expedition 14 astronauts on April 21.

According to Virginia police and the Associated Press, student Cho Seung-Hui shot and killed 32 people, then himself, during a pair of attacks Monday separated by more than two hours. Two people were killed in a Virginia Tech dormitory in the first attack. 30 others were killed in a classroom building, where Cho also died, police said.

Cho, who came to the U.S. from South Korea in 1992, reportedly left an eight-page note railing against religion and the rich that was found after the massacre, the Associated Press reported Tuesday.
