In room 204, Professor Liviu Librescu, a Holocaust survivor from Romania, forcibly prevented Cho from entering the room. Librescu was able to hold the door closed with his body until most of his students escaped through the windows; he died after being shot through the door. One graduate student, Minal Panchal, was one of the twenty-three registered students who died in his classroom. Two others who were lying in a corner were injured, but survived. The injured students who were in the room described that after most of their classmates escaped through the windows and after the armed aggressor shot through the door, he finally forced his way in. Upon seeing the open windows and hardly any students in the room, he turned to the two students who were taking cover and critically injured them and before leaving the room, he fatally shot both student Panchal and Professor Librescu at point blank range.
