    The motive of a man who shot two kindergarteners at a Christian school in California has been revealed to be protesting the “genocide” and the “oppression” of Palestinians in the Israel-Hamas war.

    Glenn Litton, 56, who donated $200 to the Kamala/Walz 2024 campaign was identified as the gunman who walked into the Feather River School of Seventh-Day Adventists elementary school. He shot two kindergarteners on the scene before turning the gun on himself and claimed that he wanted to enroll his child in the school to gain access before he took the shots, per the Daily Mail.

    The shooting took place on Wednesday a little after 1 pm local time and the school has fewer than three dozen students. He apparently seemed “cordial” in the meeting where he pretended to want to enroll his child before the shooting took place.

    County Sheriff Kory Honea said that officers were able to recover a ghost gun at the scene. Litton was previously convicted of felonies, and could not legally have a firearm.

    Well it’s CA, one of the States with the strictest gun laws and the most Democrats. Even saying pray for these two children in critical condition will be ridiculed by the left.
    What a horrible tragedy by another mentally ill individual.
    Prayers to these little kids, their friends who saw all of this, the teachers, first responders and the parents grief and the agony they must be feeling.
    These gun free zones are a magnet to the mentally ill and cowards who want to make a statement.
    Black hearts that are filled with hate.
