At Least 7 Dead, 3 More Wounded in Shooting at Christian Medical School
A gunman has opened fire at a small Christian university in Oakland, CA, leaving a trail of bodies as he fled.
FOX News Radio’s Jessica Rosenthal reports:
Police say seven people were killed and three others injured. Officer Johnna Watson says it happened at Oikos University, a private college attended mostly by Korean-Americans.
(Watson) “A gunman came into the college and fired multiple shots.”
The Pastor who founded the school, who was in his office at the time, said he heard as many as thirty shots. One woman told the San Francisco Chronicle that a victim told her the suspect stood up in her nursing class and just started shooting. Police say he fled, but they arrested him at a shopping center a few miles away.
