Attack at Oikos University in April 2012

Dec. 20, 2017
Once again we see an example of how mass killings may only be stopped quickly if an armed citizen is in the immediate vicinity.

In another example of how you just never know when violence or an attack can occur, the students in a nursing class at Oikos University certainly weren’t expecting one of their classmates to suddenly go on a murderous rampage. But that’s what happened as, at approximately 10:30 AM that morning, while in the midst of class, the suspect, Mr. One L. Goh, stood up, pulled a .45ACP caliber handgun and began his killing spree.

Reportedly Mr. Goh ordered his classmates to their feet and had them line up against a wall while verbalizing his intent to kill them. Reports indicate that he shot a total of ten people, killing seven. In possession of four 10-round magazines for his weapon, according to the investigation, Mr. Goh then fled the campus, firing as he went. He was later apprehended in a supermarket parking lot in the stolen vehicle of one of his victims approximately five miles from the Oikos University campus.
