1 day ago
An 18-year-old suspect is in custody following a shooting at a Northern California library that left two people dead and prompted a multi-agency investigation.
Authorities say the suspect initially entered the Chico branch of the Butte County Library unarmed before leaving and later returning with a shotgun. Police allege he then opened fire, killing one person near the entrance and another inside the building.
The shooting occurred Monday evening, and officers responded within minutes of receiving emergency calls. The suspect was taken into custody shortly after police arrived.
The victims have been identified as Jacob Hull and Robert Johnson. Investigators have not yet released a possible motive for the attack.
The FBI is assisting local authorities as they work to determine what led to the shooting and whether the suspect had any connection to the victims or the library.
Officials say the investigation remains active, and additional details are expected to be released as authorities continue reviewing evidence and interviewing witnesses.
