A gunman opened fire at a small Christian college in Oakland, California, on Monday, killing at least seven people and wounding three. It was the deadliest U.S. school shooting since the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007. The killings occurred at Oikos University, a college affiliated with a Korean-American church. Police identified the suspect as a 43-year-old Korean-American man named One Goh. He is a former student at the school. Howard Jordan is the Oakland police chief.

Howard Jordan: “We don’t know exactly how the sequence took place. We knew that when we got there officers found several victims throughout the classroom, throughout the building. There were several people hiding in locked buildings, locked doors, behind desks, as you can imagine, very frightened, very scared. Some of them were injured, so we had to rescue them out.”

Eyewitnesses said the gunman entered a reception area of the college mid-morning and opened fire before walking into one of two classes in session and spraying the room with bullets.

Witness: “He stood up in the class and just started firing, shot one guy in the chest, shot another person. And once, you know, he just started firing like crazy, and that’s when people started getting — that’s when she came running out, I guess. But there’s two more — there was also two dead bodies that came out, as well, too, so — as time went on.”
