From The San Jose Mercury-News: Police at the University of California Berkeley shot a man who brought a handgun into a business school computer lab. The unidentified suspect, described as a white man in his 20s, was the only person injured and was taken to a hospital in Oakland. There was no word on his condition. The campus already had been bracing for the arrival of Occupy Oakland marchers hours later, and many were wondering whether the two events were more than just a coincidence.
