A custody battle may have prompted a University of California, Irvine student to kill the mother of his 4-year-old son on campus. Brian Benedict, a 35-year-old physics graduate student, was arrested following the first on-campus killing in the history of the Orange County school. Rebecca Benedict had gone to the campus to pick up the boy from his father's apartment in a graduate student housing complex when the couple got into an argument. She left the building and was in the parking lot when Benedict, who had followed her, fired several shots with a handgun and struck her at least once. She was pronounced dead at a hospital.
