Based on what’s in that link, I’m guess gang/drug shootout. Looks like the students were hit by stray bullets. Not that it makes it any better but it doesn’t look like an attempt at a mass shooting. > [@](#): > > According to the AP, **three people have been killed in multiple locations**. Students were shot in the school, **but it is not believed that any children are among the dead.** > > Coy Ferreira, whose daughter is a kindergarten student, was dropping his daughter off for class just before 8 a.m. when he heard what sounded like a firecracker. A school secretary ran out and yelled for the kids to get in the classrooms because someone was shooting at the school. > > Ferreira said he ran into a classroom with 14 students. He said the series of shots came through the classroom windows, hitting one student. Ferreria said a young boy was shot in the foot and the chest. When he spoke to us, he said the child was alert and talking. He said another student in an adjacent classroom was shot under the arm. That child was also conscious. ---

The story is confusing. > [@"\[kcra](#): > > ([6 dead, incl. gunman, 9 injured in Tehama County shooting 'rampage'](http://www.kcra.com/article/4-victims-gunman-dead-in-shooting-rampage-near-tehama-county-school-1/13600667))"]… the shooter was arrested in January for assault with a deadly weapon in connection with a dispute with a neighbor. That neighbor was one of the people killed in the shooting. (He) also had a restraining order against him that stemmed from the dispute …was frustrated by the constant feuding with his neighbors … he believed were cooking methamphetamine. > … described as a known felon in his 50’s … Ok, so he was a felon, but he could buy guns legally? But he was not licensed to carry them. Huh. ---

> [@Snarky\_Kong](#): > > Not the time to discuss gun control. As is said after every shooting. Pretty convenient. Mass shooting pretty much once/day now. So it’s NEVER the time. This works pretty well for the NRA and the gun manufacturers.
