The 43-year-old perpetrator of Korean descent, a former student of the college, surrendered an hour later in a supermarket eight kilometers away in Alameda , to which he had fled in the car of one of his victims. The perpetrator One L. Goh does not have to answer in court. After pleading not guilty, he was acquitted by the responsible judge on January 8, 2013. Since he cannot be tried because of a mental disorder, Goh was instead placed in a psychiatric hospital.
