Police: Christian school shooting suspect not remorseful
OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA (BDCi) – The man accused of killing seven people execution-style at a small religious college in Oakland “does not appear to be remorseful at all,” the city’s police chief said Tuesday.
Former student One Goh, 43, told authorities he was upset at being expelled from Oikos University this year, Police Chief Howard Jordan said.
He was upset with some administrators and students and said he had been “picked on” and “wasn’t treated fairly,” Jordan said.
Investigators believe Goh walked into the single-story building housing the university Monday morning, took a receptionist hostage and went looking for a particular female administrator, who was not there, Jordan told CNN.
Goh took the woman into the classroom, but when he realized the administrator was not there, he shot the secretary and ordered the students to line up against the all. Not all of them cooperated, Jordan said, and so he began shooting.
“This was a calculated, cold-blooded execution in the classroom,” Jordan said. The suspect “just felt a certain urge to inflict pain on them,” he said.
After the shooting, the man left the classroom, reloaded his semi-automatic weapon and returned, firing into several classrooms, Jordan said.
He ended his rampage by driving off in a victim’s car, police said. In all, seven people were killed and three were wounded.
The suspect was arrested a short time after the shooting, when he surrendered to police at a grocery store in the Oakland suburb of Alameda, Jordan said.
The details of the shooting surfaced early Tuesday morning as police interviewed Goh. He “does not appear remorseful at all,” and would not tell police where the weapon was located, Jordan said. Investigators plan to search for the gun on Tuesday, he said.
