2 students shot, suspect dead in Butte County school shooting

PALERMO – Authorities say a suspect is dead and two students are hurt after a shooting at a school in the Northern California community of Palermo on Wednesday.

The Butte County Sheriff’s Office says the incident happened around 1 p.m. at the Feather River School of Seventh-Day Adventists.

One person was found by deputies with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, with the sheriff’s office confirming that the suspected shooter had died. Two students were also found shot; their conditions were not known at this time, the sheriff’s office says, but both have been taken to local hospitals. 

The suspect has not been identified at this time. It’s also unclear if the shooting was random, the sheriff’s office says, but it doesn’t appear that the suspect had a connection to the campus.

Parents are being told to meet their children at the Oroville Church of the Nazarene at 2238 Monte Vista Avenue. 

Due to the investigation, California Highway Patrol is diverting northbound traffic on Highway 70 at E. Gridley Road west to Highway 99. Southbound Highway 70 is also closed at Power House Hill Road, with traffic being diverted to Lone Tree Road. 

The school serves about 35 students from kindergarten to eighth grade. 

Palermo is a town about 25 miles north of Marysville and 65 miles north of Sacramento.

Crocodile kills woman in Indonesia despite coworker’s attempt to pull her from animal’s jaws

A crocodile attacked and killed a woman as she worked on a palm oil plantation in central Indonesia, local police said, with her body later recovered from the animal’s clutches.

Indonesia is home to several species of crocodiles that regularly attack and kill humans.

The 44-year-old woman was working with a colleague in West Kalimantan province on the island of Borneo when the crocodile chased the pair, biting the victim on her left hand and dragging her into a ditch.

The woman’s colleague tried to pull her from the animal’s jaws but lost the fight, before running to alert police in the coastal district of Ketapang, police said.

“After a 90-minute search, the victim’s body was found,” local police chief Bagus Tri Baskoro said in a statement late Thursday.

He said women’s remains were discovered still in the crocodile’s grip “not far” from the location of the attack. The animal released her body when rescuers approached it, he added.

Borneo is split between Brunei, Malaysia and Indonesia and is home to vast tracts of jungle hosting a kaleidoscope of rare animals.

Palm oil plantations and logging projects have in the past been criticized for encroaching on Borneo’s rainforest areas.

In August, a crocodile killed a 54-year-old woman as she bathed in a river on Indonesia’s Maluku islands. That same month, a 63-year-old tin miner was killed by a crocodile near a river on Bangka island in Sumatra.

In 2019, a scientist was dragged by a huge captive crocodile into its enclosure and killed on the island of Sulawesi.

In 2018, a mob in Indonesia’s easternmost region of Papua butchered nearly 300 crocodiles in revenge after a local man was killed by one of the reptiles.

Indonesia has also seen  several deadly python attacks this year. In August, a woman was found dead by her daughter after being attacked by a python in central Indonesia.

In July, a woman was found dead inside the belly of a snake after it swallowed her whole in Siteba village, in South Sulawesi province.

The month before that, a woman was found dead inside the belly of a reticulated python in another district of South Sulawesi.
