199111At about 3: 30 pm, Lu Gang walked into Room 309 on the third floor of Van Allen Auditorium of the University of Iowa, where a symposium was being held. After listening for about five minutes, he suddenly pulled out his revolver and fired. He hit his doctoral supervisor first.

Then, he went to his doctoral tutor assistant, Robert.

Smith), associate professor, was shot twice. At this time, many people present woke up and fled the scene. At this point, Lu Gang aimed at another China student, 27-year-old Dr. Shanlinhua, who was present at that time, and fired several shots at Shanlinhua's brain and chest.

Subsequently, Lu Gang left the first scene, arrived at the dean's office in Room 208 on the second floor, and shot and killed the 44-year-old dean Nixon (Dwight

R.

Nicholson). After confirming Nixon's death, Lu Gang returned to the first scene and found that several students were saving Professor Smith who was dying, so he shot Smith in the brain again.

Then Lu Gang left the physics department building with a gun and went to the biology department building, walking from the first floor to the fourth floor. It seems that he was looking for a female target (witnesses saw him go into the ladies' room to look for someone), during which he met many teachers and students, but Lu Gang didn't shoot indiscriminately.

After failing to find the shooting target, Lu Gang once again entered the administration building, rushed into the principal's office in room 1 1 on the first floor, shot the vice principal T Anne Cleary (also translated as Ann Clery) twice in the chest and temple, and shot the student secretary in the office, Miya Sianson. Subsequently, Lu Gang arrived at Room 203 on the second floor and shot himself.
