California, Shooting | featured news

A worker at a chicken-processing plant in Fresno, Calif., killed two workers and wounded a third before shooting himself dead outside, the county coroner reports. The suspect was identified as 42-year-old Lawrence Jones 42. He was pronounced dead at Community Regional Medical Center with a head wound. One of his victims died in the operating room, the Fresno Bee reports. Another died at the plant.

The former nursing student who the authorities say fatally shot seven people and wounded three others at a religious college had lined his victims up before shooting them, Oakland’s police chief said Tuesday. “This was a calculated, cold-blooded execution in the classroom,” Howard Jordan, the police chief, told CNN.

Three people were killed and three others wounded when at least two gunmen opened fire as partygoers left a Northern California warehouse early Sunday, authorities said.

Police say a gunman is holed up at a Walmart in Reno after he allegedly shot three employees who have been hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries.

A Northern California man who fatally shot a family friend accused of molesting him for years was sentenced Tuesday to nine years in prison in the vigilante shooting.
