** Here is Faisal’s Google+ account.
“He had like a sweatshirt, and the hoodie was up… and it covered his whole face,” student Blanca Ayala said.
The suspect carried a black backpack. He was shot by a campus police officer on Scholars Bridge, which cuts through the middle of campus.
Faisal was reportedly a shy kid – with knives.
