Gunman Targets California Religious School, Critically Injures Two Kindergartners

The shooter, identified as Glenn Litton, used a false identity to access the school before opening fire and later taking his own life.

  • The shooting occurred at Feather River Adventist School in Oroville, California, leaving two kindergarten boys, ages 5 and 6, critically injured and requiring multiple surgeries.
  • Authorities identified the shooter as Glenn Litton, a 56-year-old homeless man with a decades-long criminal history and documented mental health issues.
  • Litton gained access to the school by posing as a prospective grandparent interested in enrolling a fictitious grandson, using a fabricated story as a ruse.
  • Investigators revealed that Litton left behind writings suggesting delusional motives tied to international conflicts, though no verified connection to the school or its religious affiliation was found.
  • The weapon used in the attack was identified as a ghost gun, and law enforcement confirmed Litton had also researched targeting another Seventh-Day Adventist school in the area.
