Santa Monica College Shooting Update: Classes, finals resume following deadly attack

(CBS) SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Classes resumed Monday at Santa Monica College in Southern California, just three days after 23-year-old John Zawahri went on a shooting rampage on and near the campus killing five and injuring five others, CBS Los Angeles reports.

The main campus reopened for finals at 7 a.m. Monday but the school's library remains closed. The station reports extra security was present and counseling was made available to students, faculty and staff.

Zawahri is accused of killing his father, 55-year-old Samir Zawahri, and his brother, 24-year-old Christopher Zawahri, at their home before going on a shooting rampage on city streets and at the college Friday.

Student Marcela Dia Franco, 26, and her father, 68-year-old Carlos Franco, along with an unidentified fifth female victim, were all killed.

Debra Lynn Fine, 50, was also shot four times by John Zawahri, but survived. She has since been released from Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, the station reports.

John Zawahri was shot and killed by Santa Monica police in the college library.

As the investigation continued Monday, police released security photos of Zawahri taken during the rampage and more information was made available about his background.

CBS Los Angeles reports a resource officer at Santa Monica High School said Zawahri threatened students and staff when he attended the school in 2006.

"I cannot discuss this former student's record due to strict privacy laws, but I can stress that as a matter of policy, any time a student demonstrates concerning behavior our District works closely with law enforcement and mental health agencies to take swift action," Sandra Lyon, SMMUSD Superintendent, said in a statement obtained by the station.

The school has planned a vigil in front of the campus library to take place at 6 p.m. this evening.

"Please bring a candle and an open heart. All are welcome," the Santa Monica College President said in a statement posted online.

The school's commencement ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday and will also serve as a memorial service for the Franco family, the station reports.
