Was the Virginia tech shooter bullied?
The Virginia Tech 'shooter', Seung-Hui Cho, had been treated for mental illness since his early teens. Some reports say that he had been bullied about his speech impediment but those reports were never substantiated. In High School, he received special support for his psychological issues from the school and his parents to help him. The administration at Virginia Tech was unaware of his history and provided no mental health services or support for him. After a stalking incident in 2005, two years before the shootings, a court ordered outpatient psychological services for him but the school was not responsible for administering the order. It is unclear how or if Cho followed through with the court order. One of the impediments for the school administration's oversight of a student's mental health status are the laws protecting the privacy of patient information.

Do detectives respond to radio calls like shootings and robberies?
A detective might respond to an "in progress" call of an ongoing crime if they were already out of the station and in a police vehicle, but as a rule these calls are initially handled by uniformed patrol officers. If an officer in plain clothes responds, patrol officers who do not recognize him may just see a man with a gun and mistake him for the suspect, so it's usually best to have these incidents handled by officers in uniform. Once the crime scene has been assessed and the crime is no longer evolving, a detective could respond to take up the investigation.
