Dec 4 (Reuters) - A gunman shot and wounded two children at a California elementary school on Wednesday before shooting himself dead, the local sheriff's department said.
The shooting occurred at Feather River School of Seventh-Day Adventists in Oroville, California, located about 55 miles (89 km) north of Sacramento, the Butte County Sheriff's office said by telephone.
Megan McMann, a spokesperson for the Butte County Sheriff's Office, said that officers responded quickly to reports of an unidentified adult male firing shots at students on campus at 1:09 p.m.
By the time deputies arrived, the man was dead with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gun wound, McMann said.
