OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - A 43-year-old former student of a small Christian university in California opened fire at the school, killing at least seven people and setting off an intense, chaotic manhunt that ended with his capture at a nearby shopping center, authorities said.

Police Chief Howard Jordan said One L. Goh is in custody after he surrendered about an hour after the shooting at Oikos University, which also wounded three. Jordan said police have recovered the weapon they believe he used during the rampage.

"It's going to take us a few days to put the pieces together," Jordan said. "We do not have a motive."

Jordan said there were about 35 people in or near the building when gunfire broke out Monday morning. Of the seven fatalities, five died at the scene and another two at the hospital. Three wounded victims are in stable condition, he said.
