An alleged gunman is dead after opening fire at the Feather River School of Seventh-Day Adventists in Oroville, California, leaving two young boys in extremely critical condition.

Details revealed that the shooter, identified as Litton, had a troubled past, including significant notes indicating planning for a mass incident involving explosives.

Butte County District Attorney Mike Ramsey stated that assistance for affected students and families will continue for weeks and months following the incident.

The FBI has joined local law enforcement in the investigation of the incident, which has sparked significant concern in the community.

In writings found, Litton expressed motivations tied to America's involvement in conflicts in the Middle East, believing he was conducting 'counter-measures' in response to U.S. actions.

Sheriff Kory L. Honea described the incident as 'both horrific and tragic,' emphasizing the emotional toll on students, faculty, and responders.

Local Assemblyman James Gallagher expressed his heartbreak over the tragedy and praised the response of law enforcement, fire, and medical personnel.

The Feather River community is expected to mourn for a long time, as expressed by Laurie Trujillo of the Northern California Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.

Oroville has faced multiple tragedies, including a 2022 shooting and significant wildfires, compounding the community's distress.

Lawmakers are questioning top airline executives about the increased fees, reflecting ongoing concerns about consumer costs in the travel industry.

The region has also been impacted by deadly wildfires, such as the 2018 Camp Fire that killed 85 people, further compounding community tragedies.

A GoFundMe campaign has been established to support the children's medical expenses, raising $300 of a $10,000 goal by the time of the report.
