The Oikos University shooting occurred on April 2, 2012, when a gunman shot at people inside Oikos University, a Christian Korean American nursing college in Oakland, California, United States. Within a few hours, seven known fatalties were reported.[1] One L. Goh, a 43-year-old former student at the school, was taken into custody and identified as the suspect in the shootings.
Details
The shooting happened at approximately 10:30 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on Monday, April 2, 2012, when a gunman opened fire on the university's campus, located at an industrial park area in East Oakland. The suspected gunman, 43-year-old One L. Goh, stood up in a nursing classroom while class was in session, ordered classmates to line up against the wall, and fired at them. The gunman was reported to have said "Get in line ... I'm going to kill you all" before opening fire, according to a witness.[2] Seven were reported dead, and three others injured. The attacker continued to fire shots as he fled the campus and hours later was apprehended by authorities at a Safeway supermarket in nearby Alameda, about five miles away from the scene of the shooting.[3][4][5]
Suspect
The suspected shooter is 43-year-old One L. Goh, a former student at Oikos University. He is a Korean national and was residing in Oakland at the time of the attack.[6][7] When Goh arrived to the United States, he first resided in Springfield, a community in Fairfax County, Virginia, outside of Washington, D.C., and then moved to Hayes, where he had minor traffic citations and debts. He then moved from Virginia to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he took up residence in Castro Valley and in Oakland. While a student at Oikos University, he had disciplinary problems, and was asked to leave the school a few months prior to the shooting.[8]
Victims
Seven people were killed and three were injured.[9]
