Mass shooting
Oikos University was founded in 2004 by Jongin Kim, a pastor and former South Korean military officer who emigrated from South Korea to the United States in the 1990s.[3] Other members of staff include Chair of the Board Youngkyo Choi and Chief Operating Officer Jaehoon Moon.[3][4] The school is affiliated with the Praise God Korean Presbyterian Church in Oakland.[4] Oikos offers an associate's degree for a licensed practical nurse in its School of Nursing,[5] and undergraduate and graduate degrees in its Schools of Theology, Music and Asian medicine.
On April 2, 2012, a mass shooting at the school killed seven people and injured three.[6] One L. Goh, a former nursing student at the university, was arrested and charged in the case.[7][8][9]
