The shooting[edit]
Around 12:50 p.m., February 5, 2015, Dr. Raja Fayad, a professor and accomplished cancer researcher, was killed by his ex-wife, Sunghee Kwon. Kwon shot Fayad several times with a Hi-Point 9mm semi-automatic handgun before killing herself with the same gun. Fayad and Kwan were in a long term relationship and were married until a few years prior to the incident. Two bodies were found side-by-side in an office shortly thereafter.[1][3]
Response[edit]
Police were first alerted of the attack at 12:56 p.m.[4] of the shooting; students and faculty across the campus were advised to seek shelter immediately. A Carolina Alert, the system used to alert students and faculty of emergencies, was sent. The first message, which was sent at 1:16 p.m., read, "SHOTS FIRED AT THE NEW SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH. Seek safe shelter. Obey officials." The second message, which was sent a few moments later, read, "SHOOTING AT SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH. Remain indoors. Obey officials." As a precaution, those at the South Carolina State House, which is located only a few blocks from the crime scene, were also advised to stay indoors. Richland County Coroner Gary Watts stated that the shooter and the professor had some type of "history together." Tom Berry of the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) stated "There was no active shooter situation." [4]
This incident was the first shooting on the University of South Carolina's campus since 1984, 31 years earlier, when Phillip Zeltner took Pat Bowman hostage in the President's office.[5]

Ex-wife Sunghee Kwon shoots USC professor Raja A. Fayad in murder-suicide  COLUMBIA, SC — The ex-wife of University of South Carolina professor Raja Fayad was identified Friday as the person who shot and killed him during a murder-suicide on the campus a day earlier, ending what neighbors said had been a contentious relationship between the two that continued after their marriage ended. The body of Sunghee Kwon, 46, was found at USC’s public health school, where Fayad died, the Richland County Coroner’s office said Friday. The coroner’s office said Kwon shot Fayad, then turned the gun on herself. He received his medical doctorate degree in 1995 from Aleppo University School of Medicine in Syria. |
Authorities discovered Kwon’s body, along with Fayad’s, in the small office connected to the professor’s laboratory on the fourth floor of the public health school. A handgun was nearby.
Fayad, 45, died from multiple gunshots to the upper body, while Kwon died from one gunshot wound to the abdomen, according to autopsy results released by Coroner Gary Watts.
In a release Friday, Watts said “although the investigation continues, the indication now is that Mr. Fayad was shot and killed by Ms. Kwon, who then shot herself.”
Fayad and Kwon, of 336 Brentland Court, had been married until several years ago, although they had continued a relationship until recently, Watts said.
Fayad, who was an associate professor in the health school, had recently moved out of the Brentland Court home and into a motel along Interstate 20.
A USC police incident report from last month shows that Kwon was asked by police to leave Fayad’s laboratory at the health school after the professor called for help, asking officers to evict her.
Fayad told officers arriving on the scene there was “an Asian female who sits in his lab and has no business being in there,” according to the USC police incident report, obtained by The State. The report identified the female as Kwon.
Fayad told USC officer J.S. Guerry that the female “was a student who is trying to enter the PhD program that he was a part of. Fayad said he was uncomfortable with the female who kept making contact with him,” according to the report.
Kwon told police that she was “just sitting in the lab” and trying to enter Fayad's program, according to the report.
