Virginia Tech has partly reversed a decision to keep secret records about the April 2007 campus shootings that left 33 people dead.

Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker says the university will release at least some documents from an emergency meeting held by senior officials the day of the shootings. The academic records of shooter Seung-Hui Cho also will be released.

Cho killed himself after the shooting rampage.

Hincker says Cho's health records and 911 calls from the day of the shootings won't be released.

A settlement with the victims' families requires a public archive with key facts about the shootings.

Douglas Fierberg, an attorney for the families, said the families and the public are entitled to fully understand the circumstances and the cause surrounding the shootings.
