Police searched land and water near East Bay Regional Park for the weapon used to kill seven people at Oikos University on Monday. According to an April 3 statement from the Oakland Police Department, both the San Francisco and East Bay Regional Park police departments were helping with the search.
The suspect, One L. Goh, surrendered to police about five miles from the shooting on April 2, according to Chief of Police Howard A. Jordan. He spoke at a press conference, which Sgt. Christopher Bolton summarized and distributed on Twitter.
Jordan said a total of 10 people were shot. Police received multiple emergency calls beginning at 10:33 a.m. PDT. They arrived at the school, believing the shooter was present and that victims were locked inside, and entered a building by breaking a window. Police evacuated 13 people, some of whom were critically injured, “amidst an extremely chaotic scene.”
“We’ve learned that this was a very chaotic, calculated, and determined gentleman that came there with a very specific intent to kill people, and that’s what his motive was, and that’s what he carried out,” Jordan said on Good Morning America on Tuesday.
According to the Oakland Police, 43-year-old Goh had been a nursing student at Oikos University but was expelled months ago. He is a native of South Korea and a naturalized American citizen.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Goh came to the school looking for a particular administrator. The Chronicle said Goh felt disrespected by other students, and quoted Jordan at a press conference on Tuesday saying Goh was angry “because of the way he was treated when he was enrolled here a few months ago.” The suspect was expelled “for his behavioral problems” and for issues relating to “anger management,” according to Jordan.
