Indian-American Dawinder Kaur was shot near the right elbow and is in a hospital in Oakland. The suspect has been arrested by the Oakland Police and identified as 43-year-old One Goh, an American of Korean origin.
Dawinder told her family that the gunman, who had been absent from his class for the past several months, suddenly appeared yesterday and ordered all the students to line up against a wall. "He showed his gun and then the students started running," Dawinder said.
Pastor Jong Kim, who founded the school about 10 years ago, said he was unsure whether the man had been expelled or dropped.
