For some reason, a deranged anti-Israel activist believed that the way to protest against Israel was to try to murder Christian children.
The motive of a California man who shot two kindergarteners at a Christian school has been revealed: the supposed “genocide” in Palestine. Police have confirmed that the school shooting was a politically motivated attack.
The school shooting occurred on Wednesday just after 1 p.m. local time at the school, which has less than three dozen students.
The would-be murderer, identified as 56-year-old Glenn Litton, walked into the Feather River School of Seventh-Day Adventists elementary school and shot two kindergarteners before turning the gun on himself. He gained access to the school by claiming that he wanted to enroll his child, which allowed him entry and gave him the opportunity to attempt to murder the children, according to the Daily Mail. School officials have confirmed that Litton seemed “cordial” during the meeting where he pretended that he wanted to enroll his child.
🚨Why did he shoot up a CA school? Because… Palestine.

A note was found attached to Litton’s body, which claimed that the Seventh-Day Adventist Church was somehow at fault for “genocide” and “oppression” in Palestine, according to a local sheriff. He also made similar claims about the United States attacking Yemen.
The victims have been identified as Roman Mendez, who is just six years old, and Elias Wolfhard, who is just five years old. They were both critically injured but were taken to the hospital in stable condition.

Litton’s motivations were especially deranged. According to The Post Millennial, “Litton’s writings added that the religious sect needed to have ‘counter-measures’ taken against it in response to America’s involvement in the Middle East. He has set another appointment at a different Seventh-Day Adventist school for Thursday.”
Both families of the victims have been requesting donations for their children, with Wolfhard’s family setting up a GoFundMe for their son and the Mendez family setting up a GiveSendGo for their son.
Despite Litton having been convicted of felonies in the past and not being legally allowed to own a firearm, County Sheriff Kory Honea said that they found a firearm with Litton at the scene, which he identified as a ghost gun.
