An armed student was fatally shot by University of California, Berkeley campus police on Tuesday afternoon, according to the Los Angeles Times. A staff member initially spotted the student later identified as undergraduate transfer student Christopher Travis, 32 on an elevator with what looked like a firearm in his backpack and reported the situation to the police. When confronted by three police officers in a computer lab two minutes later, Travis pulled out the weapon and "displayed it in a threatening manner," Berkeley Police Chief Mitch Celaya said in a press conference. The police officers shot Travis in response, and he died aftergoing surgery at Highland Hospital on Tuesday. No other individuals were harmed in the incident, the LA Times reported.
