Gunman who shot 2 kindergartners at a California school wrote about attack targeting children

A gunman who critically wounded two kindergartners at a tiny religious school in Northern California was mentally ill and believed by targeting children he was carrying out “counter-measures” in response to America’s involvement in Middle East violence. That's according to Butte County Sheriff Kory L. Honea. Glenn Litton used a “ruse” of pretending to enroll a fictitious grandson to gain entry to the Feather River School of Seventh-Day Adventists in Oroville on Wednesday. He opened fire, striking a 5-year-old and a 6-year-old who remained in critical condition Thursday. Litton killed himself following the violence. Honea says investigators may never know why Litton connected the religious school to the unrest in the Middle East.
