Ucla Shooting

A major US university moved its classes online Tuesday after a former philosophy lecturer posted a video apparently threatening a mass shooting on campus.

An Indian-American professor has said Mainak Sarkar, who was behind the UCLA murder-suicide, left little impression as a student in his class and never used to greet him when they passed each other despite both hailing from West Bengal.

Mainak Sarkar, the Indian- American techie behind the UCLA murder-suicide, seems to have forced his entry into his estranged wife's home before shooting her dead and boarded a bus to the varsity to kill his former college professor, authorities said today.

"Check on my cat," was the last message left by Mainak Sarkar, the Indian-American gunman who shot dead his wife and his former college professor before turning the gun on himself, Los Angles police said.

As news about the identity of the UCLA shooter started flashing on news networks and social media streams on Thursday night, the faculty and alumni of IIT Kharagpur were in for a shock.
