A judge ruled on Monday that a man accused of killing seven people at a small Christian college in Oakland is not mentally fit for trial.

Judge Carrie Panetta of Alameda County Superior Court temporarily suspended the case against One L. Goh after two psychiatric evaluations concluded that he had paranoid schizophrenia.
