The shooting by UC Berkeley police of a man brandishing a gun in a computer lab at the Haas School of Business on Tuesday was caught on security video, and officials said they will review it.
The suspect, who appeared to be in his 20s, was taken to Highland Hospital, where he was in surgery Tuesday afternoon. University officials said they did not know if the suspect was a student. The man was conscious when he was taken to the hospital.
The suspect entered the business school Tuesday afternoon and entered an elevator with a female employee of the school, UC Police Chief Mitch Celaya said at a news conference. The man pressed the button for the third floor and the woman for the fifth floor, Celaya said.
The suspect then looked at the woman, pulled out what appeared to be a gun from a backpack and put it back, police said. After leaving the elevator, the staff member told her boss and both went to the computer lab. They saw the suspect there and called police.
Police received a 911 call at 2:17 p.m. and three officers responded two minutes later.
