CA - Butte County - two boys aged 5,6 shot at small school, gunman dead

This is my hometown and it's another senseless school shooting. Apparently, the gunman visited the school under the pretense of enrolling a child. This is small private school and so far speculation that the gunman had issue with the faith/religion of the school.

Two kindergarten students remain in extremely critical condition after they were wounded in a shooting at a small Christian school north of Sacramento, authorities said on Wednesday.

The boys, aged 5 and 6, were being treated at local hospitals, Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea said at an evening news conference, hours after a gunman opened fire at the Feather River Adventist School in Oroville.

The two victims, ages 5 and 6, are in "extremely critical condition," police say

A suspected gunman who opened fire inside a Northern California school on Wednesday, wounding two kindergarten students, allegedly met with school administrators moments before the shooting to discuss the possibility of enrolling his family there, according to investigators.

“I told the kindergartners to take deep breaths and just think of something happy,” sixth grader Jocelyn Orlando told CNN affiliate KOVR.

“I told the little graders to close their eyes and cover their ears because he was pacing back and forth from the window,” Orlando said.
