BERKELEY, Calif (Reuters) - A University of California, Berkeley student who was shot in a campus computer lab not far from the scene of anti-Wall Street protests has died of his injuries, the university said on Wednesday.

Christopher Nathen Elliot Travis, 32, died late on Tuesday afternoon, hours after the shooting at the Haas School of Business, university spokesman Dan Mogulof said.

University police say there is no indication that the incident was related to a day of rallies Berkeley linked to anti-Wall Street protests.


"There is no information at this point in the investigation suggesting that this is anything other than an isolated incident," Mogulof said.



University police chief Mitchell Celaya told reporters at a press conference on Tuesday that officers responding to a call of a man with a gun in the lab shot the suspect when he pulled the weapon from his backpack and displayed it in a threatening manner.

If the shooting had nothing to do with OWS why even mention it in the article? They pulled this shit with the Tea Party and presidential candidates all the time. I fucking hate the news.
