Dzhokar Tsarnaev is the second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing, and was a student at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth.

Leanne Poirier, Managing Editor of The Torch (the school’s student newspaper) offers this profile on Tsarnaev and his time on campus:

“If you asked me if he would ever pick up a gun, I would say no,” said junior UMass student Trevor Ruggiero, in reference to Dzhokar Tsarnaev, the suspected Boston Marathon bomber.

Black helicopters dispatched a bomb squad shortly after students evacuated the campus Friday afternoon. Sources claim the suspect made a visit to Dartmouth as early as Tuesday- just a day after the Boston bombing.

Similar judgment seemed to be made by Zach Jamous, also a junior at the University. “He was so chill… it’s just the last person I expected. Completely shocked,” said Jamous, who also frequently attended meetings in an on-campus club which the suspect belonged to.

Tsarnaev was part of an intramural soccer team at the school, which according to friends, he enjoyed.

“Everyone that knew him saw him as really laid back, always smiling. Never saw him mad,” said Jamous, “I don’t know if anyone could find anything bad to say about him. He was very likeable.”

On the other hand, former classmate Trevor Ruggiero describes the suspect’s characteristics similar to those of a typical “lone wolf.”

“He was really quiet. He was kind of spacey… kind of disinterested. He seemed like a normal kid.”

Ruggiero is torn in his judgment of Tsarnaev, “Am I surprised that he is not completely in favor of whatever America stands for? No, I am not.” said Ruggiero, “He was quiet, kept to himself, and was rarely in class.”

Several students described him as “not very religious,” in addition to his extensive use of marijuana. The suspect graduated from Cambridge Rindge and Latin School.

“He was familiar with the Boston area,” said a sophomore physics major who wished to remain un-named. “He hung out with a lot of the foreign exchange students.”

“He lived with me in Maple Ridge Hall last year, his room was very clean and organized,” she said, also commenting on the Einstein poster he hung on his wall.

Several students recall seeing him do homework or playing laptop video games in the common area of his hall. “Not Call of Duty type games, more sports oriented video games,” said the physics major.

“The calmest kid ever… never had any problem with anyone, said UMass student Elton Jhon, who played soccer with, and against the suspect, “Never in a million years would I suspect he would be bombing people.”
