A Ph.D. gunman crossed a victim off his “kill list” yesterday when he fatally shot a UCLA professor over allegations of stolen code and sparked a campus-wide lockdown in the middle of finals week. Mainak Sarkar, 38, had accused Professor William Klug, 39, of the theft in March 2016. On June 1, Sarkar confronted Klug in UCLA’s engineering complex and shot him dead with a 9mm handgun. Sarkar then took his own life. 
 
 The victim was a professor in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, according to his official bio on UCLA’s website. 
 
 Sarkar was first named in a report by CBS News. He had a Ph.D. in solid mechanics from UCLA. 
 
 The shooting prompted a two-hour lockdown and massive police response at the school, with LAPD Chief Charlie Beck telling the media when it was over, “The campus is entirely contained. We believe there are no suspects outstanding and no continuing threat to UCLA’s campus.” 
 
 Here’s what you need to know: 
 
 1. Sarkar Had a ‘Kill List’ in His Home in Minnesota & Also Shot His Wife Ashley Hasti Dead There 
 
 On June 2, Chief Beck told the L.A. Times that Sarkar had a “kill list” at his home in St. Paul, Minnesota, and had shot a woman dead in her home in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Park. The kill list included her name, Klug’s name, and another professor who is thought to be safe. The woman has been named as 31-year-old Ashley Hasti. 
 
 It was originally reported that Hasti was Sarkar’s ex-girlfriend, but WCCO-TV is reporting that they were married in 2011. It is not clear if they were still together or had separated. 
 
 Beck said the professor was not on campus at the time of the shooting, but it is not known if Sarkar tried to find him before killing himself. 
 
 In his press conference immediately after the shooting, UCLA Police Chief James Herren suggested the incident may have been a murder-suicide. KNX reporter Rob Archer tweeted that a suicide note was recovered at the scene. But Chief Beck told the L.A. Times the note listed Sarkar’s home address and requested that someone “check on my cat.” At a later press conference, Beck said there was no reference to suicide in the note.

 The kill list led police to check Hasti’s home, where they discovered her body. 
 
 Authorities are also trying to track down Sarkar’s 2003 gray Nissan Sentra with Minnesota plates 720KTW. He is thought to have driven from Minnesota to Los Angeles. 
 
 The Daily Bruin originally reported that the shooter was a white male who was 6 feet tall. The newspaper added that the shooter was wearing a black jacket and black pants. That was based on a campus police description. 
 
 KNX reporter Claudia Peschiutta tweeted that Sarkar was “despondent” over his grades, which prompted the shooting. 
 
 The Los Angeles Times reports that Klug was killed inside an office in the engineering complex. 
 
 Police recovered two pistols at the scene, along with extra ammunition magazines. Beck told reporters both guns were purchased legally, and at least one was registered to Sarkar. 
 
 Investigators later found “extra ammunition and a box for one of two pistols found at UCLA” in Sarkar’s Minnesota home, the Times reports. It is not yet known when or where Sarkar purchased the guns. 
 
 CBS News reports that Sarkar has no previous criminal history. But police have not said whether Sarkar had a history of mental health issues. 
 
 2. In March 2016 Blog Post, Sarkar Wrote That Professor Klug Was a ‘Sick Person,’ but in 2014 He Thanked Klug & Called Him a ‘Mentor’ 
 
 In a now-deleted blog post on his WordPress site LongDarkTunnelblog, Sarkar wrote about Professor Klug. On March 10, the shooter was scathing in his criticism of Klug saying: 
 
 William Klug, UCLA professor is not the kind of person when you think of a professor. He is a very sick person. I urge every new student coming to UCLA to stay away from this guy… My name is Mainak Sarkar. I was this guy’s Ph.D student. We had personal differences. He cleverly stole all my code and gave it another student. He made me really sick. Your enemy is your enemy. But your friend can do a lot more harm. Be careful about whom you trust. Stay away from this sick guy. 
 
 The Los Angeles Times reports that in 2014 in a doctoral commencement booklet, Klug was listed as Sarkar’s advisor, the shooter wrote to Klug, “Thank you for being my mentor.” 
 
 You can view a cache of the original posting here. 
 
 The only other visible post on the blog shows a photo of comedian Bill Maher with the caption, “Bill Maher still looks so cool……” 
 
 A source at UCLA told the Los Angeles Times that Sarkar’s theft claims were “absolutely untrue.” The source added, “The idea that somebody took his ideas is absolutely psychotic” and that Klug “bent over backwards” to help Sarkar finish his dissertation.

 3. Neighbors of Ashley Hasti Saw Sarkar Around Her Apartment a Week Before the Shooting 
 
 Neighbors of Ashley Hasti identified her as the victim found dead in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. The St. Paul Pioneer-Press reports that she was 31-years-old. The LAPD had asked police in the Brooklyn Park area to perform a welfare check on her home. 
 
 According to her LinkedIn page, Hasti had been studying at the University of Minnesota’s Medical School, first registering 2012. She got her undergrad there in Asian languages and literature. 
 
 A woman named Stacy told the Pioneer-Press that she saw Sarkar in the area around Hasti’s home about a week before the UCLA shooting. She added that she regularly saw cats around the apartment. 
 
 KARE 11’s Lou Raguse reports that the home in Brooklyn Park was owned by Hasti’s father and the neighbors were more familiar with him than his daughter. 
 
 4. Sarkar Was a Member of Klug’s Research Group at UCLA & Got His Master’s Degree at Stanford After Studying in India 
 
 Klug had his own research group at the school. On their website, the Klug Research Group says: 
 
 We are primarily interested in theoretical and computational biomechanics. In particular, we are developing continuum and multiscale methods to understand the mechanics of biological structures from the molecular and cellular scales upward. Some of our projects are listed below. 
 
 There are six doctoral students involved in the research group, including Mainak Sarkar. On that page, Sarkar is said to have been studying at UCLA since 2006. 
 
 According to his LinkedIn page, which has been taken down, Sarkar got his master’s degree at Stanford and also studied aerospace engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology in Kharagpur. After that, he apparently returned to the U.S. to work as a research assistant at the University of Texas in 2003 before working as a software developer. 
 
 Sarkar also worked for a rubber company named Endurica as an engineering analyst. The Los Angeles Times reports that he left that job in August 2014, according to the company’s president William Mars. 
 
 He wrote a glowing tribute to Sarkar on LinkedIn saying: 
 
 Mainak is a steady contributor with solid technical skills in FEA and software development. I appreciate the quality of his work, and his careful approach to new problems. He has worked for Endurica in an off-site situation requiring great trust and independence, and he has performed well under those conditions. 
 
 Sarkar represented Endurica at a conference in Cleveland in October 2013. 
 
 Another of those who provided an endorsement on LinkedIn, Matthew Uy, told the Los Angeles Times that he hadn’t seen Sarkar in years and the Uy felt “pretty disconnected” from the shooter. 
 
 In 2010, Mainak was a teaching assistant in an aerospace engineering course at UCLA under Melissa Gibbons. 
 
 Klug’s friend Lance Giroux told CBS Los Angeles that, “Kids loved working with him because he was such an easy coach to work with.” 
 
 A professor of integrative biology and physiology, Alan Garfinkel, told the Los Angeles Times, “I am absolutely devastated. You cannot ask for a nicer, gentler, sweeter and more supportive guy than William Klug.” 
 
 5. Klug Leaves Behind a Wife & 2 Children 
 
 In a feature for Westmont College’s magazine, Klug spoke about his faith and his career saying: 
 
 Knowing there is a God responsible for the world makes a big difference in my motivation to understand it better. I developed a habit of relying on God for what I felt was beyond my ability to control or what I couldn’t do for myself. 
 
 Klug’s wife, Mary Elise Richter Klug, is also an engineer, she graduated from Westmont in 1997. She then worked in consulting for aeronautical engineering firms. Klug’s wife got her master’s at UCLA too to which he quipped, “I followed her there.” The couple married in December 1999. 
 
 A separate feature on Klug’s wife says that she is an “accomplished, award-winning ceramics artist.” She is a native of Cerritos, California. 
 
 The couple lived in El Segundo with their two kids where Klug coached his son’s little league team, reports CBS Los Angeles. Giroux told the network, “To have your son grow up without a dad is rough. So I’m hoping the community here can kind of rally around that.” His son is in the fourth grade, reports ABC Los Angeles. 
 
 One photo on Klug’s Google Plus page shows him with a child at a UCLA game. His YouTube channel shows a playlist of hockey, baseball and gameshow clips. 
 
 A Go Fund Me page has been set up to help Klug’s family. It was created by the El Segundo Community. The message reads: ||||| Video (02:39) : Police arrived at the home in the 2400 block of Pearson Parkway shortly after 12:30 a.m. Thursday at the request of Los Angeles police, said Brooklyn Park Police Deputy Chief Mark Bruley. A woman was found inside dead from a gunshot wound, Bruley said in a statement. 
 
 Authorities investigating a St. Paul man in Wednesday’s fatal shooting of a UCLA professor discovered a “kill list” in his apartment that led them to the body of his estranged wife. 
 
 Police found Ashley Hasti, 31, dead in her Brooklyn Park home shortly after 12:30 a.m. Thursday. Her name and the names of two UCLA professors were on the “kill list” found in the North End apartment belonging to Mainak Sarkar, 38, who killed himself after gunning down Professor William S. Klug. Police said Sarkar, who had two semi-automatic pistols and multiple rounds of ammunition, also intended to kill the second, unnamed professor who was off campus when he arrived. 
 
 “He was certainly prepared to engage multiple victims with the ordnance he had at his disposal,” Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said at a news conference. 
 
 Sarkar apparently believed Klug had stolen some of his work while he was a doctoral student at UCLA. 
 
 Sarkar’s motive for Hasti’s slaying remains unclear. The two were married by a justice of peace in 2011, said Hasti’s grandmother, Jean Johnson. The couple split about a year later and Hasti moved back home to Brooklyn Park. 
 
 “They just didn’t get along,” Johnson said. The two didn’t divorce because Hasti couldn’t afford one, Johnson said. Hasti was in medical school at the University of Minnesota and expected to graduate next spring.

 “The only enemy she had was him, I guess,” she said. “I never thought he would do something like that.” 
 
 The two met while Hasti, who grew up in the Twin Cities, was in school in California from 2009-10. Hasti attended a one-year post-baccalaureate pre-med program at Scripps College in Claremont. Sarkar seemed like a quiet, smart man, but he was “real hyper,” Johnson said. “He had trouble sleeping. He just needed to see a doctor.” 
 
 Johnson said she didn’t know whether there was any animosity or anger after the two split. “I would ask about him and Ashley would say, ‘He’s got his own place and he’s doing just fine.’ ” 
 
 At a midday news conference, Beck said Sarkar left a note at the UCLA scene asking authorities to check on his cat. That led police to the St. Paul apartment, where a second note with the “kill list” led them to Hasti’s body. 
 
 St. Paul police spokesman Steve Linders said he could only confirm that the department searched an apartment in the 1000 block of Agate Street, traced to Sarkar through police and court records, to assist another agency. He said a suspicious package was found nearby and rendered safe by the bomb squad. At the request of Los Angeles police, Brooklyn Park authorities arrived at Hasti’s home in the 2400 block of Pearson Parkway and found her dead inside from a gunshot wound. 
 
 “What I can tell you is we believe she was deceased prior to the UCLA shooting Wednesday, but because it is so early in the investigation the timing [of her death] we don’t know at this point,” said Brooklyn Park Deputy Chief Mark Bruley. 
 
 There were no other police calls that week to the home. 
 
 Sarkar’s only contact with police aside from Wednesday’s search was in 2006 for a traffic accident. 
 
 Hasti was stellar student 
 
 At the time of her death, Hasti was enrolled for the summer term in the University of Minnesota Medical School, a university spokesman said. She’d been enrolled in the med school continuously since 2012. In 2008, she received a bachelor’s degree from the U in Asian languages and literatures, the spokesman said. 
 
 Jason McGrath, an associate professor at the U, taught two of her undergraduate classes. Even 10 years later, he remembers her earning top grades and having a warm personality, he said. In a recommendation letter for Hasti’s pre-med program, McGrath described her as “a student of rare intelligence and talent” who wrote a paper so good that he asked her if he could post it anonymously to the course website as an example to other students. 
 
 “She was one of the best students of her time,” he said. “She had an easy familiarity in talking even to her professors, which was appreciated because you like students who are approachable and don’t keep you at arm’s length.” 
 
 Hasti was a part-time liberal arts student at North Hennepin Community College from 2003 to 2006 and again from 2011 to 2012, said spokesman Mike Laninga. 
 
 Beck said authorities believe Hasti was shot “within the last couple of days,” and that Sarkar arrived in Southern California “very recently.” 
 
 Sarkar lived in Minnesota for a number of years, and “I don’t think either of them expected to see him,” Beck said of the professors. Beck said police have contacted the professor who was unharmed to make sure he is safe. “I would characterize his response as knowing [Sarkar] had issues with him,” Beck said, “but not to the level that would rise to homicide.” 
 
 The chief said police are looking for Sarkar’s car, a 2003 Nissan Sentra with Minnesota plate 720KTW, in hopes of tracking his movements and determining a motive. 
 
 Students attended a candlelight vigil for Prof. William Klug at the University of California, Los Angeles, on Thursday night in Los Angeles. A former UCLA graduate student killed a woman in Minnesota before carrying two semi-automatic pistols and a grudge back to Los Angeles, where he fatally shot a young professor on Wednesday he once called a mentor and then killed himself, police said Thursday. 
 
 Beck told KTLA-TV that it appears that mental health problems were a factor in the UCLA shooting He said Sarkar apparently believed that Klug, 39, had released intellectual property that harmed him. 
 
 Sarkar earned a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from UCLA in 2013, the university confirmed to the New York Times. 
 
 On March 10, in a blog post that has since been deleted, Sarkar called the professor “a sick person” who stole his work. “I was this guy’s Ph.D. student,” he wrote. “We had personal differences. He cleverly stole all my code and gave it [to] another student. He made me really sick.” 
 
 On the block where Hasti lived, Gordy Aune, a neighborhood watch leader, said he talked with people who lived at the home “a couple of times over the years.” 
 
 Wayne Hasti, Ashley’s father, also lived there, “but they weren’t around very often,” Aune said. Public records show Wayne Hasti has owned the home since 1995. 
 
 On her social media accounts, Hasti’s interests stretched beyond medical school to her pet cat, stand-up comedy at open-mic nights and rap parody songs. 
 
 “She was a kind, beautiful, giggly girl,” Johnson said. “Everybody liked her. I just don’t understand why he had to do that. He just took a big piece of my heart with her.” 
 
 Star Tribune staff writers Karen Zamora and Liz Sawyer contributed to this report. ||||| Los Angeles (CNN) Mainak Sarkar, the gunman who opened fire in a murder-suicide at UCLA, left behind a trail of evidence that led investigators to another victim. 
 
 A woman found dead on Thursday in Brooklyn Park, a suburb of Minneapolis, was Ashley Hasti, according to a Facebook post from her sister, Alex. 
 
 Hasti was Sarkar's wife, officials in Hennepin County, Minnesota, said. 
 
 Hasti and Sarkar married June 14, 2011, Hennepin County Communications Officer Carolyn Marinan said. It was unclear whether they were married at the time of their deaths. 
 
 Alex Hasti, in the Facebook post, referred to the couple as "estranged." 
 
 Police who searched Sarkar's Minnesota home found a note with an ominous title, Los Angeles police Chief Charlie Beck told reporters. 
 
 "Kill list," it said, spelling out the names of three people, according to Beck. 
 
 One of them was William S. Klug, the UCLA professor Sarkar killed with multiple gunshots, according to authorities. 
 
 A woman's name, apparently Hasti, also was on the list. She had been shot and had apparently been killed before the UCLA shooting, officials told reporters. 
 
 Hasti's body was found dead at 1:25 a.m. Thursday, according to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office. She had multiple gunshot wounds. 
 
 Alex Hasti wrote of her sister: "Ashley Hasti ... was the smartest, coolest, and funniest person I knew. She could do anything she dreamed of whether it was studying abroad in four different countries, acting in school plays, trying stand up comedy and improv, and becoming a doctor. Unfortunately, she won't get to see that last dream come true as her life was cut short much too soon by her estranged husband." 
 
 The third person Sarkar intended to target was another professor at UCLA, Beck said. That faculty member was off-campus Wednesday and was unharmed, the police chief said. 
 
 Police say Mainak Sarker was the shooter in a murder-suicide Wednesday at UCLA. 
 
 Beck earlier told CNN affiliate KTLA-TV that "a dispute over intellectual property" was tied to the UCLA shooting, which put the campus on lockdown for hours Wednesday. 
 
 "Everybody tries to look for a reason for this. Well, first of all, there is no good reason for this," Beck told the station. "This is a mental issue, mental derangement, but it was tied to a dispute over intellectual property." 
 
 Sarkar felt the professor he killed had released information "that harmed him," he told KTLA. "UCLA says this is absolutely not true. This is the workings of his imagination." 
 
 Police searching for vehicle 
 
 It had been several years since Sarkar was a student at UCLA. He graduated in 2013 with a Ph.D. in engineering. 
 
 At some point in the past few days, Beck said, Sarkar drove from his home in St. Paul, Minnesota, to Los Angeles, armed with two semiautomatic pistols and multiple rounds of ammunition. 
 
 He went to his former professor's fourth-floor office and shot him dead, then killed himself, Beck said. 
 
 Investigators who rushed to the scene found a note, according to the police chief. 
 
 "The note at UCLA said to ask for the finder to check on his cat in Minnesota. So we checked in (on) his cat in Minnesota at his residence. Actually we did a search warrant at his residence," Beck told KTLA. 
 
 That's where investigators found the kill list, Beck said. 
 
 Police are searching for the gray 2003 Nissan Sentra Sarkar drove from Minnesota to California, Beck said. 
 
 Inside, the police chief told KTLA, "there will be evidence that will help us unravel this." 
 
 Authorities don't have any evidence suggesting that Sarkar committed additional crimes on his way to California, Beck said. But that's something the police chief says they're investigating. 
 
 "Of course, that is one of the reasons we want to find the car," Beck said, "to see where that will lead us." 
 
 'Our entire UCLA family is mourning' 
 
 Klug's wife, Mary Elise Klug, issued a statement on Thursday thanking the public for its support and requesting privacy. 
 
 "During this extremely difficult time for our family, we are grateful for the tremendous outpouring of support. This is an indescribable loss. Bill was so much more than my soulmate. I will miss him every day for the rest of my life. Knowing that so many others share our family's sorrow has provided a measure of comfort," she said. 
 
 "That said, we are a very private family, and we need time to heal and recover from this senseless tragedy. At this time, we ask the media to please respect our family's privacy in and around our home, school and local community during the days and weeks ahead, especially for the sake of my children." 
 
 UCLA Chancellor Gene Block described the mechanical and aerospace engineering professor as "a respected, dedicated and caring faculty member" in a statement. 
 
 "Our entire UCLA family is mourning," he said. 
 
 Friends described the professor as an easygoing Little League coach. Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom called him an "an empathetic, brilliant teacher." 
 
 A friend of Klug's fought back tears as he described the father of two to CNN affiliate KCBS-TV 
 
 "It's hard to even fathom," Lance Giroux said. "To have your son grow up without a dad, it's rough." 
 
 The professor was a proud coach of his young son's baseball team, friends told KCBS. 
 
 "(He was) always very positive. Kids loved working with him because he was such an easy coach to work with," Giroux said. 
 
 Klug's research group focused on theoretical and computation biomechanics, according to the university. 
 
 He received his undergraduate degree at Westmont College, then obtained a master's degree at UCLA and a Ph.D. from Caltech. 
 
 He joined UCLA's faculty in July 2003. 
 
 "Though the path to healing is long, we will make the journey together," Block said Thursday in his message to the campus. "Let us remember and be grateful for the wonderful gifts and talents professor Klug shared with us." 
 
 The shooting 
 
 Los Angeles police said it got a call about the shooting around 10 a.m. PT Wednesday. 
 
 Officials put the campus on lockdown as authorities investigated. Throngs of police with long guns patrolled the streets of the campus of more than 40,000 students.

 The situation was contained shortly after noon, the police chief said. He said the shooting took place in a small office in the engineering building. 
 
 It was a jarring, tense time for the university's students. To protect themselves, some blocked doors with printers , according to a picture on Twitter.

 Freshman Teddi Mattox said she was in a cafeteria getting breakfast along with about 100 other students when the shooting occurred. 
 
 "We got the alert and a woman said, 'This is not a joke, everyone get to the back of the dining hall because we have to stay away from the windows,' " she said.

 UCLA officials said they will review all campus safety procedures. 
 
 "We're pleased in the way notification went out, troubled by some reports of unlocked doors, but we want to review everything," said Scott Waugh, UCLA's executive vice chancellor and provost. 
 
 UCLA also extended counseling services over the next few days for students who may be in need, Waugh said. 
 
 Final exams are scheduled for next week, with graduation set for June 10. 
 
 Classes resumed for most of the university Thursday. At the engineering school, where the shooting occurred, classes will resume Monday, officials said.
– The woman on the "kill list" of UCLA gunman Mainak Sarkar was his estranged wife, who was apparently shot to death in her Minnesota home before Sarkar traveled to California, authorities say. Jean Johnson, grandmother of 31-year-old University of Minnesota medical student Ashley Hasti, tells the Star Tribune that the couple married in 2011 and split up around a year later, but they didn't get a divorce because Hasti couldn't afford one. Her body was found in her St. Paul home after cops at UCLA found a note from Sarkar asking them to "check on my cat" and giving his Minnesota address. Police found her name on a list in Sarkar's apartment and realized she could be in danger. Johnson says her granddaughter was a "kind, beautiful, giggly girl" and she doesn't know if there was any tension between her and Sarkar. LAPD Chief Charlie Beck says that Sarkar drove from Minnesota to Los Angeles and was probably in town for a "couple of days" before killing UCLA professor William Klug and shooting himself in Klug's office, the Los Angeles Times reports. The chief says Sarkar's car hasn't been found yet and it's not known whether he committed other crimes between Minnesota and California. Beck says investigators believe Sarkar, who made online postings accusing former mentor Klug of stealing his work, had planned to kill another UCLA professor but couldn't find him. That professor "is fine" and was aware Sarkar had issues with him, Beck says. On Thursday night, hundreds of students and faculty members gathered at UCLA to mourn Klug, known as a kind and dedicated professor who did his best to help students, including Sarkar, the AP reports. "Bill was so much more than my soul mate," his wife, Mary Elise Klug, said in a statement. "I will miss him every day for the rest of my life."
