A quiet Christian college in Oakland became the site of one of the deadliest campus attacks in California history Monday when a disgruntled former student opened fire on his classmates, police say, killing seven people and injuring three.

SWAT teams descended on Oikos University to search for the gunman as students ran out of the building and emergency workers carried bodies from the building and covered them with tarps.

About an hour after the 10:30 a.m. attack, the suspect calmly walked into a grocery store 5 miles away in Alameda, went to the customer service counter and told employees, "I just shot some people."

Sheesh.
 
Just because he was kicked out of some classes?

Definitely overreacting.

Condolences to the families and to the child who's without a parent :cry:

Terrible story.

I do find it interesting that the comments at the bottom of the article sounds almost exactly like that you would see in a typically news24 post (although there are only 3, whereas in News24 there would be 300).
 
Who were the victims? a list with pictures would be good.

wanna see if he is a racist...
 
Sickening and pointless.

I don't know why they keep using the adjective 'disgruntled' in relation to these acts. Disgruntlement means yelling at a store manager for bad service, not massacring students due to some kind of bizarre psychopathy.

Hardly.

I've often seen the postal workers who shot up the post offices in the 80s referred to as disgruntled.

You're right, we should also refer to Brevik as been disgruntled.
