Johnston, said deputies were first alerted to a shooting in Rancho Tehama Reserve before "multiple victims and multiple shots" were reported at Rancho Tehama Elementary School. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots and children screaming at the school, about five miles down a road from where the shooting is believed to have started.
"I know that we have Medivaced a number of students," Johnston said, referring to the use of helicopters for the emergency transport of victims to hospitals. At least one student was wounded at the school. Another child was shot while driving with a woman, who also was wounded, Johnston said.
Johnston said the school had been cleared by 10 a.m. and all other students have been brought to a safe location. Johnston said the gunman had a semi-automatic rifle and two handguns.
"It's a really sad day for us in Tehama County, really," Johnston said, choking up as he finished addressing reporters. Details were still sketchy hours after the shootings, and authorities did not have a firm count of the wounded due to the number of places the gunman attacked, Johnston said.
