Thread: 5 dead, suspect in custody in classroom shooting at Oikos University in California

A gunman opened fire at a Christian university in California Monday, killing at least five people, law enforcement officials said. Police say they have a suspect in custody.

The shooting erupted at midmorning at Oikos University in Oakland and left five dead, the law enforcement officials told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.

Officer Johnna Watson did not give any other details about the detained suspect. Authorities earlier described the gunman as a heavyset Korean man in his 40s wearing khaki clothing.

"I can confirm that we do have one person who has been detained that we believe is possibly responsible for this shooting," Watson said. KTVU-TV reported that the shooter was a student and opened fire in a classroom.
Earlier, television news footage showed a chaotic scene as heavily armed officers swarmed into the building in search of the shooter. The footage also showed bloodied victims on stretchers being loaded into ambulances.

I'm betting Obama's going to hold a special press conference and make a statement about it any minute.

Good thing you guys are above using a ****ing tragedy to score cheap ****ing political points. It's good to know there are no depths some people will not ****ing stoop to. Keep up the good work.

Until there is a way for them to exploit it to further their careers we won't hear a word about it from them.

I dont think it was meant to score political points. Politicians in general, all them, exploit whatever they can. Its part of being a politician.

You guys?? Don't be ridiculous. If Congress sees fit to hold hearings on Trayvon Martin, it's a legitimate to wonder where they are on these school shootings.

Don't you think?? Or don't you give a ****?

If a liberal had posted this, would you have thought the same thing? I had to add something of my own or I couldn't have posted. It's you who can't wait to take shots at people you overall disagree with -- not me.

Bull****. The OP does not even comment on the shootings outside the quote. It's the lowest form of politics, exploiting the dead. I can just see Maggie running to the computer "YES! A bunch of people dead so I can bitch about congress!".

You have a very low opinion of me, Redress. I guess I can't help that. But sure wish you'd keep it to yourself. If you don't want to comment on the Breaking News, may I suggest you, ah, move along?

Ummm...you did not, nor have you commented on the story. Funny that.
