(35 minutes later) | |
At least three people have died in a California school shooting, sheriff's officials said. | |
An official with the Tehama County Sheriff's office said the shooter had also died after opening fire at a local elementary school. | |
The alleged assailant was killed by “law enforcement bullets” after opening fire, Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston told reporters. | |
Mr Johnston said that “a number of students” had been medically evacuated from the school, which had been cleared. Other students were moved to a safe location, he said. | |
He said around 100 law enforcement officers had been deployed around the town of Rancho Tehama and were investigating “at least five scenes” related to the shooting. | |
“We are spread thin but we have a lot of resources right now”, the deputy said. | |
An area man identified as Brian Flint told reporter Jim Schultz that he had heard his neighbour was the shooter. He said the neighbour “has been shooting lots of bullets lately — hundreds of rounds”. | |
“We’ve made it aware that this guy has been crazy and he’s been threatening us”, the man said. | |
