The Oikos University shooting occurred on April 2, 2012, when a gunman shot at people inside Oikos University, a Korean Christian college in Oakland, California, United States. Within a few hours, the number of reported fatalities reached seven.[1] 43-year-old One L. Goh, a former student at the school, was taken into custody and identified as the suspect in the shootings. Along with the California State University, Fullerton massacre, this was the third-deadliest university shooting in United States history, after the Virginia Tech massacre and the University of Texas Clock Tower shooting and the sixth-deadliest U.S. school massacre overall. It was also the deadliest outburst of gun violence at a U.S. school since the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre in which 32 people were killed.[2][3]

Details

The shooting happened at approximately 10:30 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time on Monday, April 2, 2012, when a gunman opened fire with a .45-caliber semi-automatic handgun with four fully-loaded 10-round magazines on the university's campus, located at the Airport Business park in East Oakland, near the Oakland International Airport. The suspected gunman, 43-year-old One L. Goh, stood up in a nursing classroom while class was in session, ordered classmates to line up against the wall, and fired at them. The gunman was reported to have said "Get in line ... I'm going to kill you all!" before opening fire, according to a witness.[4] Seven were reported dead, and three others injured. The attacker continued to fire shots as he fled the campus, driving away in a car belonging to one of the victims. Hours later he surrendered to authorities at a Safeway supermarket in the nearby South Shore area of Alameda, about five miles away from the scene of the shooting.[5][6][7]

The suspected shooter is 43-year-old One L. Goh (sometimes reported as One Goh Ko), a former student at Oikos University. He was residing in Oakland at the time of the attack.[12][13] A native of South Korea, he followed his parents and two older brothers to the United States at a young age and later[when?] naturalized as a U.S. citizen.[14][10] When Goh arrived to the United States, he first resided in Springfield, a community in Fairfax County, Virginia, outside of Washington, D.C., and then moved to Hayes, in rural southwest Virginia, where he had minor traffic citations and debts. In February 2002 he changed his name from Su Nam Ko because he felt his birth name sounded "like a girl’s name."[15] He then moved from Virginia to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he took up residence in Castro Valley and in Oakland. While a student at Oikos University, he had disciplinary problems, and was asked to leave the school a few months prior to the shooting.[16]

Howard Jordan, the chief of the Oakland Police Department, said the suspect was angry at the administration after being expelled from the university, as well as having his request for a pro-rated tuition fee reversal on his $6000 payment denied by Ellen Cervellan, one of the school's administrators.[17] School officials later said he had not been expelled.[18][19] Jordan said Goh went to Oikos with "the intent of locating [a female] administrator", but when learning she was not there, he opened fire at random people.[20] Jordan said Goh "was also upset that students in the past, when he attended the school, mistreated him, disrespected him, and things of that nature."[20] More than a year earlier, on March 8, 2011, Goh's brother (Sgt. Su Wan Ko, an administrative non-commissioned officer in the United States Army) had been killed in an automobile accident in Virginia while on assignment for the George C. Marshall Center.[21][22]
