Oakland Police chief Howard Jordan said on Tuesday that the teasing was one motivation for 43-year-old One Goh's shooting rampage at Oikos University in California.

Monday's attack killed seven people and wounded three others.

Jordan earlier said Goh was targeting a female administrator at the school, where he was expelled for possible behavior problems.

Jordan says Goh appears to have planned the attack for several weeks.
