OROVILLE, CA (MPG) - On Dec. 4, two students at Feather River Adventist School in Oroville were shot and sustained critical injuries. The victims were identified as 5-year-old Elias Wolford and 6-year-old Roman Mendez.

The boys were outside playing at recess when the shots were fired. Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea reported that Roman suffered two gunshot wounds that resulted in internal injuries and Elias, who was shot in the stomach, also suffered internal injuries. After undergoing surgery at a Sacramento-area hospital, both are reported to be in critical but stable condition.

As for the gunman, CBS 13 reported that a California Highway Patrol officer found the suspect later that same day, Dec. 4, deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The Butte County Sheriff's Office identified the alleged gunman as 56-year-old Glenn Litton.

Honea said Litton was best described as being homeless and spent most of his time between the Chico area and Sacramento. Police said that Litton has a lengthy criminal history and mental health issues. Most recently, Litton was recorded having contact with law enforcement in the San Francisco area on Nov. 12 with charges that involved a stolen rented vehicle from U-Haul and fake identification.

ABC 7 reported that on Nov. 20, Litton was transported to San Bernardino County to the West Valley Detention Center, where he was booked for a Sheriff's Automated Warrant for Burglary. Litton was then released from the West Valley Detention Center on O.R., which stands for “responsible party” on Nov. 21 after pleading not guilty

According to the timeline compiled by the Butte County Sheriff's Office, Litton had been staying at a hotel in Chico and had used an Uber to arrive at a scheduled appointment at Feather River Adventist School. He met with the school's principal and took a tour of the grounds posing as “Michael Sanders,” a grandfather who wished to enroll his grandson. This fabricated story appears to have been used to help Litton get onto campus and gain access to the students. After completing his meeting, Honea said, Litton got up and appeared to leave but then backtracked through the breezeway to the playground. Surveillance footage then shows Litton reaching for his waistband, pulling out a firearm and initiating his attack, according to law enforcement.

On Dec. 4, authorities received information that led them to say the school might have been targeted for its affiliation to the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Litton’s exact motives remain unclear and the incident is under investigation, as of press time.

Sheriff Honea has asked anyone who might have information surrounding Litton's ideology or any information regarding him to contact the Butte County Sheriff's Office at 530-538-7322.
