California: School Shooter Wanted “Child Executions” in Revenge for US “Genocide of Palestinians”

by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – A gunman who opened fire on children at a Seventh-day Adventist elementary school in California last week left a note saying he was seeking “child executions” in response to US involvement in the “genocide and oppression of Palestinians,” the LA Times reports.

Glenn Litton, 56, took his own life after shooting and severely wounding 5-year-old Elias Wolford and 6-year-old Roman Mendez at Feather River Adventist School in Oroville, Butte County, in northern California on December 4.

Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea said in a statement that Litton was mentally ill and homeless and that he had a long history of criminal convictions including for theft, fraud, identity theft, and forgery, LA Times said.

Litton attended a Seventh-day Adventist school in Paradise, California as a child and may have had a relative who went to the Feather River school years ago, Honea added. However, Litton had no known direct connection to Feather River.

Although Litton’s note said he acted on behalf of the “International Alliance,” police are not aware of any such organization, LA Times reports. “We believe that this was an isolated incident and he was a sole individual who targeted this school based on the beliefs that he held,” Honea said.
