At least four people in the US state of California have been killed and 10 others injured after a gunman opened fire at multiple locations, including near an elementary school, before being shot dead by police.<\/p>\n
A shooter, believed to be armed with a semi-automatic rifle and two handguns, opened fire in multiple locations in Tehama County, northern California, shortly after 8am local time (16:00 GMT) on Wednesday, according to the local sherriff’s office.<\/p>\n
“We have multiple shots fired in Rancho Tehama. That evolved to multiple victims,”\u00a0Undersheriff Phil Johnston, of the Tehama County Sheriff’s Office, told reporters.<\/p>\n
Johnston said the suspected shooter was shot and killed by police.<\/p>\n
People who were injured were taken to various hospitals in the area,\u00a0local newspaper The Redding Record Searchlight reported.<\/p>\n
Rancho Tehama is a small town about 200km northwest of Sacramento.<\/p>\n
Johnston said the shooting began as a “domestic violence incident”, according to the local NBC News affiliate.<\/p>\n
“We are aware that there was a domestic violence incident as reported by neighbours involving the suspected shooter,” he said.<\/p>\n
Police, however, said the motive was not immediately known.<\/p>\n
The identity of the shooter has not yet been released.<\/p>\n
At least two children were wounded and a number of students from a local school were airlifted to hospital, NBC News reported.<\/p>\n
California Governor Jerry Brown said he and his wife, Anne, were “saddened to hear about today’s violence in Tehama County, which shockingly involved schoolchildren”.<\/p>\n
“We offer our condolences to the families who lost loved ones and unite with all Californians in grief,” Brown said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Johnston said at least 100 law enforcement personnel were investigating at least seven crime scenes, according to local media.<\/p>\n
A local elementary school and the Rancho Tehama Airport were also put on lockdown, The Redding Record Searchlight reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
