OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Police have confirmed that the nursing program director of the California college where a former student is suspected of going on a shooting rampage was the suspect's intended target.

Oakland Police Chief Howard Jordan told The Associated Press Wednesday that investigators believe Ellen Cervellon is the person that suspect One Goh sought.

Police say that when Goh was told Cervellon wasn't there at the time, he began shooting in classrooms.

Cervellon says Goh had been upset after dropping out of the nursing program because school officials would not fully refund his tuition.

Seven people were killed and three others wounded.
