THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Six people have been confirmed dead and several others injured after a gunman opened fire inside a small Christian university in California.
Police said a suspect had been detained in custody following a search that lasted several hours.
The khaki-clad attacker, described as a heavy-set Asian man in his 40s, opened fire inside a lecture room where a nursing class was being held at the religious Oikos University, in East Oakland, California, at around 10.40am local time.
The college is popular with students from the Catholic Korean community.
Afterwards, four bodies outside the school could be seen covered in tarpaulin, while rescue workers removed others from inside the building on stretchers.
Nearby Highland Hospital said it had treated four victims following the incident, and others were still being taken out of the university hours after the shooting stopped. » | Rosa Prince | New York | Monday, April 02, 2012
