This gives a lot more info than CNN and NBC are giving right now. Thanks for posting. My nephew goes to UCLA and he is an engineering major. I think he is OK physically but it must be hard emotionally for everyone there.

ETA: Just got a txt from my nephew that they are in the All clear.

Two dead, apparently a murder-suicide.

 

[TheGirlCanSkate]

What a terrifying situation for everyone. I have friends who have kids in the dorms there during the event.

 

[AxelAnnie]

It is a world gone mad!

 

[Coco]

It appears a student shot a professor. How uniquely horrifying for everyone, especially all the other professors.

There is no reason a private citizen needs an automatic rifle. Ever.

My friend works in that building. Thanking the Gods he's ok.

This world is very scary.

 

[Vash01]

It is a world gone mad!

But we have known this for quite some time, right?

 

[AxelAnnie]

Yes we have. . And we do very little to fix it.

If my news feed is correct, a student was upset about their grade.

The story is growing - from the LA Times: UCLA gunman had 'kill list,' linked to second slaying in Minnesota

The gunman who shot and killed a UCLA professor Wednesday has been identified as Mainak Sarkar, a former doctoral student who had accused the victim of stealing his computer code and giving it to someone else, according to Los Angeles police.
Sarkar, 38, took his own life after killing William Klug, 39, in a small office in UCLA Engineering Building 4, sources confirmed.
Sarkar, a resident of Minnesota, appears also to have killed a woman in a small town in that state, officials said. The woman’s name was found on a “kill list” in Sarkar’s residence, LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said. A second UCLA professor’s name was on that list as well, along with Klug’s name.

^ Very sad for the victims and their families and very sick actions of the perpetrator. Just awful and senseless all around.

 

[Ania]

My thoughts are with the victims' families. What a tragedy.

 

[Buzz]

So sad and getting worse. My thoughts and prayers to the victims and their friends and families.
