Two kindergarten-age boys were shot at a Seventh-Day Adventist Christian school in California on Wednesday by a man claiming to be taking revenge for American involvement with a supposed Gaza “genocide” and attacks on Yemen, according to a Thursday Butte County Sheriff’s office briefing.
Roman Mendez, 6, and Elias Wolford, 5, were in critical but stable condition following the attack on the Feather River School in Palermo by gunman Glenn Litton, known to have a lengthy criminal record and mental health history.
The 56-year-old assailant, who was found at the school by first responders with a fatal self-inflicted gunshot wound, had left a statement justifying the shooting as
revenge for the ongoing Israeli military operation against Hamas in Gaza and operations to counter Ansar Allah’s maritime terrorism and missile attacks.
“Countermeasures involving child execution have now been imposed at the Seventh Day Adventist school in California, United States, by the International Alliance,” read the manifesto shared by Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea at the Thursday briefing.
“I, Lieutenant Glenn Litton of the Alliance, carried out countermeasures in necessitated response to America’s involvement with genocide and oppression of Palestinians along with attacks towards Yemen.”
