UCLA Was A "Gun-Free" Campus
Of course, a person looking to commit murder-suicide would hear of that policy and think, "Naw, I think I'll just go fishing instead."

Here's the university policy on guns and other weapons:

III. POLICY STATEMENT Subject to the exceptions below, no person shall bring to or possess on University Property or areas adjacent to University Property, a loaded or unloaded Firearm, Generally Prohibited Weapon, Lethal Weapon, Less Lethal Weapon, Stun Gun, Imitation Firearm, Fireworks or other Incendiary or Destructive Device.

Subject to the exceptions below, UCLA students, faculty, and staff shall not bring to or possess a loaded or unloaded Firearm, Generally Prohibited Weapon, Lethal Weapon, Less Lethal Weapon, Stun Gun, Imitation Firearm, Fireworks or other Incendiary or Destructive Device to activities of or programs conducted by the University, whether on- or off-University Property.

Any person, who possesses a Firearm, Generally Prohibited Weapon, Lethal Weapon, Less Lethal Weapon, Stun Gun, Imitation Firearm, Fireworks, or Incendiary or Destructive Device on University Property or at off-campus University activities or programs, may be subject to criminal penalties and/ or disciplinary action under University policies, except where one of the exceptions below applies.

The professor who was slaughtered by the student (who may have been mentally ill) sounds like a great guy. The LA Times' Sarah Parvini, Kate Mather and Hailey Branson-Potts write:

Several sources identified the victim as William S. Klug, 39, a father of two who studied the interaction between mechanics and biology.

Klug, an associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, was described as both brilliant and kind, a rare blend in the competitive world of academic research, colleagues said.

"I am absolutely devastated," said Alan Garfinkel, a professor of integrative biology and physiology who worked with Klug to develop a computer generated virtual heart. "You cannot ask for a nicer, gentler, sweeter and more supportive guy than William Klug."

Melissa Gibbons, one of Klug's former doctoral students, said he was an exceptional mentor. She recalled that Klug noticed another student struggling in his finite element modeling class and asked Gibbons to tutor her. "He didn't want to see her fail. To care that much in an undergraduate class says a lot about his character," she said.
