The incident, which ended in the apparent suicide of the gunman, may have been religiously motivated, the Butte County Sheriff\u2019s Office said.<\/p>\n<p>The shooting took place at the Feather River School of Seventh-Day Adventists, roughly 70 miles north of Sacramento, the Sheriff\u2019s Office announced in a <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ButteSheriff\/status\/1864427168165711978?t=4mVL7jVdmi_oRo5oE0nNpw&amp;s=19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news alert<\/a> shortly before 2 p.m. The  Sheriff\u2019s Office received information indicating that the gunman had targeted the school due to its religious affiliation, Sheriff Kory Honea said at a Wednesday evening news conference.<\/p>\n<p>Deputies found two young boys wounded at the scene. They were transported to local hospitals and remained in \u201cextremely critical condition\u201d on Wednesday evening, Honea said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am thankful that they are still alive,\u201d Honea said, \u201cbut they have a long road ahead of them.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The shooter, a man armed with a handgun, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to authorities. The Sheriff\u2019s Office believes it has identified the shooter but is not releasing this information to the public yet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are still in the process of interviewing people who he may have been associated with,\u201d Honea said, \u201cand we have other procedural matters that we have to deal with before we make his identity known.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The suspect attended a meeting with a school administrator before the shooting to discuss potentially enrolling a family member, Honea said. It is not known whether this was a sincere desire or a ruse to gain access to campus, he said. <\/p>\n<p>About 35 students at the school were taken to the nearby Oroville Church of the Nazarene, where they were reunited with their parents. Crisis counselors from the Butte County Behavioral Health Department, chaplains and representatives from the Seventh-day Adventist Church were helping address the immediate needs of students and faculty at the school, Honea said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope that people can appreciate how tough this is for the students of the school, the faculty of the school, the members of this community and all the first responders,\u201d Honea said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to be coordinating with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and any other agencies that we think can help us navigate through this and get answers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sid Patel, special agent in charge of the FBI Sacramento Field Office, said the FBI was working with \u201cfull force\u201d to assist the Sheriff\u2019s Office and investigate the incident.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve had our evidence response team deployed, we have our victim specialists here to help with family members, we have our special agents working to assist with investigative efforts,\u201d he said, \u201cand we\u2019re doing an entire workup of the subject to get a better understanding of his motivation, ideology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The school will remain closed Thursday as law enforcement continues to investigate the scene, Honea said. The Sheriff\u2019s Office is in contact with school administrators and the Butte County Office of Education to determine a plan to reopen the school. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that is a conversation that will happen sometime next week,\u201d Honea said. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of moving parts and I want to make sure that all of the faculty and students and parents of the kids who return feel comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steven Brownell, a pastor with the Seventh-day Adventist Church who visits the school once or twice a week, told <a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kcra.com\/article\/pastor-feather-river-adventist-school-shooting\/63097876\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KCRA-TV<\/a> that he was trying to support the community in the aftermath of the attack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy reaction was just sorrow \u2014 that the kids anywhere have to experience anything like this in their lifetime. And then not only them, but the teachers and the parents as well,\u201d Brownell said. \u201cTo have to go through something like this is just unconscionable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Assemblymember James Gallagher (R-Yuba City) issued a statement saying his heart was breaking for all of those affected by the tragedy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will never understand why or how someone could do a thing like this. I am grateful for the bravery of the law enforcement, fire and medical personnel who responded to this attack to stop the shooter and rescue the victims,\u201d he said. \u201cAs a community, we\u2019ll all be hugging our loved ones closer today as we pray for the victims and try to make sense of something so senseless.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/california\/story\/2024-12-04\/suspected-gunman-dead-after-shooting-at-oroville-elementary-school\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two kindergartners were critically wounded in a shooting at a Christian elementary school in Oroville, Calif., on Wednesday.
