Suspected gunman One Goh: Doting son, angry over his college expulsion
One Goh, the 43-year-old Korean-American man suspected in the execution-style shooting deaths at a small Christian college in California, seemed a doting son visiting his parents in senior housing. But at the same time, he was capable of displaying unbridled anger at the school, according to police and others who had contact with him.
The portrait of Goh emerging one day after six women and one man were shot to death at Oikos University in Oakland is of someone who felt he was "teased" and "picked on" at the college, which eventually expelled him, possibly for poor behavior, police said.
Goh was self-conscious of his inability to speak English like a native and felt that students and others at the school made fun of him, police said.
Oakland Police Chief Howard Jordan said it wasn't immediately clear why Goh had been expelled from the college but, "We've been told that some of the possibilities are that he was expelled for his behavioral problems, anger management, but nothing specific."

【一言】
私、英語を話すのは正直言って上手ではないです。
言葉の壁って、意外と高く、異国に行くと疎外感を感じることがよくあります。
が、でもいずれ何とかなるでしょうと気楽に考えることにしています。
理由は、楽しく語学を学ぶのが長続きの秘訣と思ってるからです。
常に、気楽に!
