A gunman who killed seven people in a massacre at a Christian college was upset after being teased by other students about his English skills, and was seeking vengeance against a school official who had expelled him.
When he could not find the female administrator he was looking for South Korean-born One Goh, 43, shot dead a secretary at the front desk and then entered a classroom where he lined students up against a board and executed them at point blank range.And see the San Francisco Chronicle, "Oikos shooting: Oakland's sorrow is ours."
Goh had been attending Oikos University in Oakland, California, as a nursing student before being asked to leave several months ago.
He had previously lived in Springfield, Virginia, less than 20 miles from Centreville, the home town of Seung-Hui Cho, the South Korean who killed 32 people in the Virginia Tech school massacre on April 16, 2007.
In March last year Goh attended a memorial service in Centreville for his brother, US Army Sergeant Su Wan Ko, 31, who died in a road accident. He also has a surviving brother in the town, which has a large Korean population. It was unclear whether Goh and Cho ever knew each other.
