A shooting at a small private elementary school in Northern California left two students injured and the suspected gunman dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Wednesday.
The incident occurred at the Feather River School of Seventh-Day Adventists near Palermo, California, a small community of 5,500 residents located approximately 65 miles north of Sacramento.
When Butte County Sheriff's deputies arrived at the scene, they discovered two students with gunshot wounds who were immediately transported to a hospital. Their current conditions remain unknown. Deputies also found the suspected shooter deceased from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Following the shooting, authorities evacuated the small school, which has an enrollment of 33 students. Officials coordinated with local emergency services to safely transport all students to the Oroville Church of the Nazarene, where they were reunited with their parents.
The Feather River School of Seventh-Day Adventists is situated roughly 10 miles south of Oroville, California. Law enforcement officials continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
The Butte County Sheriff's Office managed the emergency response and is leading the ongoing investigation into this incident that has shaken the quiet rural community.
