At 11:24am on October 21[1], Huan Yun "Allen" Xiang[2], a commerce student at the university[3], armed with five loaded handguns, opened fire in room E 659 of the Menzies Building on Monash's Clayton campus[4] in an econometrics class containing twelve students. [5] People in the classroom were initially confused by the noise and by Xiang screaming "You never understand me" from the desk he was standing on.[5]
Xiang killed two students in the room:[2][6]
1. Xu Hui "William" Wu, an international student from Hong Kong and neighbour of Xiang's in Melbourne; and
2. Steven Chan, a student from Doncaster.
Xiang wounded five others: [3][5][6] [7]
1. lecturer Lee Gordon-Brown, who was shot in the arm and knee;
2. student Daniel Urbach, who was wounded in the shoulder and arm;
3. student Laurie Brown, who was wounded in the leg and abdomen;
4. student Christine Young, who was shot in the face; and
5. student Leigh Dat Huynh, who was discharged from hospital within a day.
When Xiang stopped shooting and moved to switch weapons, Lee Gordon-Brown, the injured lecturer, grabbed Xiang's hands as he reached into his jacket. Gordon-Brown and a student in the room, Alastair Boast, a trained kung fu practitioner, tackled him.[3][5][8] [9] Bradley Thompson later entered the room and discovered other guns in a holster around Xiang's waist, and removed two magazines from near his left hip and a revolver from the base of his back.[2]
After Gordon-Brown collapsed, Boast and Thompson were helped by a lecturer from a nearby room, Brett Inder, to restrain Xiang for fifteen minutes until police arrived while student Andrew Swann and university administrator Colin Thornby provided first aid. [1][4][10] [11] At least one injured student reportedly left the room and sought help for his injuries from security staff.[12]
Xiang was deemed by police to be unfit for interview but wrote a note referring to William Wu after his arrest saying "I finally ended WW's life." [1][5]
All classes in the Menzies Building were cancelled for the rest of the day and the university set up counselling stations.[12].
