So by now UCI students and a good portion of the OC have probably heard about the shooting death of the wife of 35-year old physics graduate student Brian Hughes Benedict.
Here's what we've also heard.
"My wife attends UCI. The suspect shared her office. Going through a divorce. One of my wife's friend and fellow student placed the 911 call as it happened right out side of their apartment. Another friend and student said he heard a dozen shots...not too sure on the details of that, probably lost count as these things happen very quickly. Cops showed up in about a minute or less and had the shooter detained with out a struggle. Rumor has it the suspect served in either Afganastan or Iraq.
My wife is pretty shook up. If I get any more rumors or verified info I'll post it." -anonymous
"Another rumor going around is that the victim was shot 8 times. This info comes from a medical student who attempted to save the victim's life. I got this third hand so I can't totally verify the accuracy but it's probably a pretty good guess that the victim was shot quite a few times." -anonymous
