• Police shoot, kill armed man at Berkeley: Yesterday, Berkeley campus police shot a man named Christopher Nathen Elliot Travis, who had transferred to the university during the fall semester. Travis was witnessed placing a handgun into a backpack on his way to a computer lab at the Haas School of Business, and was subsequently confronted by the police. He reportedly drew the gun, and when he refused to drop his weapon, an officer fired multiple shots, hitting and incapacitating him. He was taken to Highland Hospital, where he died from his injuries last night. Authorities have said that there is “absolutely no evidence” of this being anything but an isolated incident. source
