The man suspected of shooting seven people dead and injuring three more at a university in Oakland had been teased over his poor English, police say.

One L Goh, 43, felt "disrespected" and "isolated", and was expelled from the school for behavioural problems, Police Chief Howard Jordan said on Tuesday.

He was allegedly looking for a female official when the shooting took place on Monday at Oikos University.

The former student surrendered at a supermarket in nearby Alameda city.

"They disrespected him, laughed at him," Mr Jordan said. "They made fun of his lack of English speaking skills. It made him feel isolated compared to the other students."

The police chief added that Mr Goh dragged the university secretary into a classroom, told people to line up, and began shooting when some people did not co-operate.

I have lived in the east bay for like half my life combined and I didn't even know "Oikos university" existed. Its website makes it seem like some frazy fundie place for korean christians. It's very sad people died but it doesn't surprise me crazy people went there.

It's a shame he did not learn the language, if he had he would not have had to go and shoot those people.

I had a dream. It was an incredible dream. When I awoke, I had a huge mess to clean up.
