No yawn, this is TODAY's news, Martin is bumped down. Expelled student wanted to kill school administrator, killed whoever he found instead?
The former student who authorities say gunned down and killed several people at an Oakland nursing college held a grudge against school officials, according to Oakland police, was deeply in debt with tens of thousands of dollars in federal tax liens against him and had two deaths in his immediate family last year.
"We've learned that the suspect was upset with the administration at the school," Oakland Police Chief Howard Jordan said today on "Good Morning America."
"He was also upset that students in the past, when he attended the school, mistreated him, disrespected him, and things of that nature. He was having, we believe, some behavioral problems at the school and was asked to leave several months ago.
"We've learned that this was a very chaotic, calculated and determined gentleman that came there with a very specific intent to kill people, and that's what his motive was and that's what he carried out," Jordan added.

There were so many red flags ...
Schools and employers need to learn how to identify those who are likely to respond violently when fired, suspended or expelled, and learn how to carry out those actions in a way that defuses and hopefully prevents such incidents.
In 'Gift of Fear', Gavin de Becker explains how these red flags are often overlooked, and gives expert (and common sense) advice on how to handle these situations. He's developed a threat assessment tool designed to help government, businesses, schools and individuals determine the likelihood of a violent response.
