OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — A suspect was detained Monday in a shooting attack at an Oakland Christian university that sources said has left at least five people dead.

Law enforcement sources close to the investigation told The Associated Press that at least five people have died after the morning shooting at Oikos University.

Meanwhile, police said a suspect was detained in the attack. Officer Johnna Watson did not give any other details about the arrest.

"I can confirm that we do have one person who has been detained that we believe is possibly responsible for this shooting," Watson said.

Four victims arrived at Highland Hospital for treatment, said spokeswoman Jerri Randrup.

Earlier, television news footage showed officers surrounding the building in search of the suspect. The footage also showed wounded people being carried out of the building, and more gurneys were being brought in.

"One of the people who was inside the building, she was saying there is a crazy guy inside," witness Brian Snow told KGO-TV. "She did say someone got shot in the chest right next to her before she got taken off in an ambulance."

According of its website, Oikos University offers studies in theology, music, nursing and Asian medicine.

Man that sucks. I think we can all agree, theist or atheist, that this is a pretty crappy thing to do.

Why do these things always have to happen? There are plenty of help outlets to the point where the only real way to get bullied into this sort of thing is to let yourself get bullied into this....

My thoughts and condolences go out to the families.

**Huffy**

Do we know the name of the school yet?..my condolences to the families and friends

That is an incredibly strange combination.

Christian university teaching asian medicine? That's as crazy as someone shooting others with a gun.

Pretty terrible situation. This will certainly spark some interesting debates about gun 'control' in the coming days.

Because it's usually high-causality shootings that garner the most media attention.

Suspect was caught miles away. By the time the cops got there many more could have been shot. Remember that.

It's a Korean Christian University. It makes sense considering many Koreans label themselves as Christian by name only.

Explanation?

I don't see how Koreans are more guilty of casually labelling themselves Christian than other sorts.

Because it's California. Some psycho shot up a school, so clearly, it's time to take a dump on the several million of us who did NOT.

I feel sorry for the families. Who the <CENSORED> attacks a nursing school? What sort of diseased thinking prompts this?

Even in mass shootings Mississippi gets no repsect. Its probably because no one can spell it without having to think about it.

This occurred at the same time.
