(Oakland, California) A 43-year-old former student at Oikos University, One L. Goh, has been accused of fatally shooting seven people on campus yesterday. After police launched a manhunt, Goh was captured at a nearby shopping center.
According to Police Chief Howard Jordan, a .45-caliber gun was recovered.
"It's going to take us a few days to put the pieces together," Jordan said. "We do not have a motive."Three wounded victims are in stable condition.
Police first received a 911 call at 10:33 a.m. reporting a woman on the ground bleeding. As more calls came in from the school, the first arriving officer found a victim suffering from a life-threatening gunshot wound, he said.
It was an "extremely chaotic scene," Jordan said.
More officers arrived and formed a perimeter around the school on the belief that the suspect was still inside, he said.
"Potential victims remained inside the building either trapped by a locked door which officers were unable to open," Jordan said. Others were unable to flee because they were injured, he said.
Jordan said there were about 35 people in or near the building when gunfire broke out. Of the seven fatalities, five died at the scene and another two at the hospital.
