Two kindergarten students are in critical condition after a gunman opened fire at a Seventh-Day Adventist school in Oroville, California, on Wednesday. Authorities believe the shooter may have targeted the school because of its religious affiliation, NBC News reported.
Butte County Sheriff Kory L. Honea said that the gunman met with the principal of Feather River Adventist School in the early afternoon on Monday, but shortly after that meeting, the man opened fire, wounding two boys, ages 5 and 6. When law enforcement officers arrived on the scene, they found the gunman dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. The victims are in “critical but stable condition” as of Thursday. The students “have a long road ahead of them” to recovery, according to the sheriff.
