(CNN) -- Police captured a suspect in a shooting at a California religious college that resulted in "multiple fatalities" Monday, an Oakland police spokeswoman said.
A SWAT team entered Oikos University in East Oakland to make sure no other shooters or wounded people were on the campus building, police spokeswoman Johnna Watson said.
Too many people simply do not know how to handle setbacks appropriately. What a shame. I wonder if the media stopped reporting breathlessly when these things happen if some of these shootings would diminish?
I suspect many of these killers want their 15 minutes of fame.

I'm confident that it's partly due to the Trophy For Every Kid™ philosophy that society has adopted.

Really? What is it that makes you think a bad economy makes people wanna kill? Most folks I know just wanna go to work and pay their bills.
Besides, from the initial reports the shooter was a Korean at a school founded by a Korean. Coincidence?
