An armed man who was shot dead by a police officer on Tuesday at the University of California at Berkeley’s business school was an undergraduate student, a campus spokesman said on Wednesday.
The 32-year-old student, Christopher Nathen Elliot Travis, was reported to the police on Tuesday afternoon when he was seen with a gun in an elevator at the Haas School of Business, officials said. When police officers found him moments later in a nearby computer laboratory, he pointed the gun at them and was shot by a single police officer, the police said. Mr. Travis died later at a local hospital, said the spokesman, Dan Mogulof.
