A Korean-American arrested over a massacre at a religious college in California was charged with seven counts of murder on Wednesday, prosecutors said cited by local media.

One Goh, 43, who surrendered a short time after the killings Monday in Oakland, near San Francisco, was also charged with three counts of attempted murder, said the Alameda County district attorney's office said.

"The enormity and devastation of these crimes is unprecedented in Alameda County," District Attorney Nancy E. O'Malley said in a statement cited by the Los Angeles Times.
