SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – A disgruntled former nursing student pleaded no contest Tuesday to killing seven people at a Northern California vocational college and will spend the rest of his life in prison.
One Goh also pleaded no contest Tuesday to injuring three others during his 2012 rampage at Oikos University in Oakland, California.
He will be formally sentenced to seven life sentences without the possibility of parole in July. Goh was eligible for the death penalty.
Goh walked onto the school campus April 2, 2012, with a .45-caliber handgun and took the school receptionist hostage. He took her to a classroom where he fatally shot her and six students and wounded three others.
He then stole a car belonging to one of his victims and drove to a nearby grocery store and surrendered to employees, who called police.
