The Feather River Seventh-Day Adventist School community was shattered by the violent events that unfolded on December 4, 2024. Two young boys, aged 5 and 6, sustained severe injuries during their lunch break when Litton opened fire.
While staff acted heroically to render aid, the long-term effects on the victims and the school are profound. Litton’s motives remain complex and disturbing.
His written statement cited geopolitical and religious grievances, though law enforcement has found no evidence linking him to the claims he made about a fictitious organization.
Additional investigation revealed that Litton had ties to a different Seventh-Day Adventist School in his youth, suggesting personal factors might also have contributed to the attack.
The incident has sparked widespread calls for enhanced school safety measures and mental health awareness, with community leaders emphasizing the importance of vigilance in preventing such tragedies. The victims remain in critical condition, with ongoing efforts to provide support for their recovery.
