UCLA Shooter Accused Victim Of Stealing His Computer Code
http://laist.com/2016/06/02/ucla_shooter_accused_victim_of_stea.php
The man who fatally shot a UCLA professor in his office before
turning the gun on himself Wednesday has been identified as
Mainak Sarkar. He was a former doctoral student who had once
called his victim William Klug a "mentor" but in recent months
he had written angry screeds accusing him of stealing his
computer code. Police have identified Sarkar as the gunman in
yesterday's murder-suicide that locked down the UCLA campus,
according to the Los Angeles Times. CBS News reports that he
used a 9mm semi-automatic pistol, which was found at the scene
along with a note. Sarkar had no apparent criminal history.

The shooter, who was found to have a "kill list," apparently shot and
killed a woman in Minnesota before driving back to UCLA to kill the
professor there.
