At least four dead in shooting at Christian university in East Oakland
OAKLAND -- Several people have been hurt -- and possibly four killed -- in a shooting this morning at a Christian university in East Oakland, authorities said.
Police would not confirm the total number of fatalites from the shooting at Oikos University on Edgewater Drive, but said that a suspect was in custody and had been arrested in Alameda.
People were being evacuated by armored vehicles from the building at 7850 Edgewater Drive, some taken away by ambulance. More are being triaged outside the building and Oakland's Highland Hospital reports that some victims are being treated there.
The shooting happened about 10:23 a.m. in a classroom at Oikos University, when the suspect came in and fired multiple shots.

Pastor Jong Kim, who founded the school about 10 years ago, said he did not see the shooting but heard about 30 gunshots.
