“It would have burnt his face”. She also dabbled in stand-up comedy.

A former UCLA graduate student killed a woman in Minnesota before carrying two semi-automatic pistols and a grudge back to Los Angeles, where he fatally shot a young professor he once called a mentor and then killed himself, police said Thursday. “I was hiding under my desk in my office for a long time”, the second student said.
LA police say Mainak Sarkar shot and killed u-c-l-a professor William Klug before taking his own life.
Beck said it was Sarkar who was mentally unstable.
The university has now taken steps to address the survivors’ needs in the wake of the horrific incident.
The engineering school’s dean, Jayathi Murthy, announced in another email that final exams and the commencement ceremony “will proceed as regularly scheduled”.
Sarkar parked in a neighborhood where he once lived and took a bus to campus on a route he would have used while attending UCLA, Hayes said.
The email also notes that the university is now offering students crisis counseling “24/7 and walk in services”.
Johnson said 2014 was when the couple split, though they did not divorce.
Sarkar submitted a new document that Eldredge said was barely sufficient for Klug to urge colleagues to grant him a Ph.D.in 2013. “But I couldn’t stay home either. He made me really sick”, Sarkar added.
Fellow mechanical and aerospace engineering professor Jeff Eldredge met Klug 17 years ago when they were doctoral students at Caltech, and they joined the UCLA faculty on the same day.
“Here is a guy who did everything by the book”, he said.
“I appreciate the quality of his work, and his careful approach to new problems”. “It’s just so sad”. Representatives from the school denied those claims and said Klug worked hard to help the struggling engineering student succeed. As one student told TheWrap, “Even those who weren’t under lockdown are experiencing stress”. Recently he wrote a blog on social media accusing Klug of stealing his codes and passing it on to other students. “She was way ahead of her time”, Fitzgibbons said of his niece, who had studied overseas in Taiwan and China during high school before heading to Scripps College in California for pre-med studies.
Family and friends of Klug describe him as a kind, gentle man who didn’t appear to have conflicts with anyone.
It wasn’t until official word came from authorities, and the lock-down was lifted, that students learned that a well-regarded professor had lost his life that morning. “We all have to sign papers at the beginning of the program which essentially states that all intellectual property belongs to UCLA”. No one can crack the code on their own.

The murder-suicide prompted a lockdown and a massive security deployment at the university, amid fears of a mass shooting.
