| The head of police at Northern Illinois University, Don Grady, said Kazmierczak had studied sociology there in 2007.
Mr Grady said it was not known why Kazmierczak, 27, who was armed with three handguns and a shotgun, opened fire in a crowded lecture hall.
Another 15 people were injured before Kazmierczak killed himself.
Student Desiree Smith, who was in the hall, said the gunman suddenly appeared 10 minutes before the end of the lecture.
She said: "He was dressed all in black, he had a black ski cap on and then I saw him shoot.
"He aimed at our professor and I did see our professor shot in the arm."
Actually, there were no red flags," the police chief said.
"He was someone that was revered by the faculty and staff and students alike.
The police chief said it was still unclear how many shots had been fired, but 48 bullet casings had been found as well as six shotgun shells.
He praised the actions of the emergency services, saying police had been on the scene within minutes.
Counselling
The gunman's tearful father, Robert Kazmierczak, told reporters outside his home in Lakeland, Florida, that it was a "very hard time" for him, but was too upset to say more.
