Tehama County Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston told
reporters that the assailant was killed by police following
the mass shooting, which began around 8:00 am (1600
GMT) at a home in Rancho Tehama Reserve and continued
at several locations in the community, including the
elementary school. He said no children were among the
dead and the motive for the assault was unclear, although
it may be linked to a domestic dispute and a history of
disagreements with neighbors.
"It was very clear at the onset that we had an individual
that was randomly picking targets," Johnston said at a news
conference. "This man was very, very intent on completing
what he set out to do today." He said one child was shot
and wounded at the school. Another suffered non-life-
threatening injuries while riding in a car with his mother,
who was severely wounded. Johnston said the gunman,
who has not been identified, went on his shooting spree
after stealing a neighbor's vehicle and then tried to gain
access to the school but was unsuccessful as it was on
lockdown.
He said the suspect, who was wearing a military-style vest,
left the school to continue on his rampage and crashed the
vehicle at one point. He then stole a second vehicle and
was killed in a shootout with police.
