6-year-old Roman Mendez. a 6-year-old kindergartner, was shot twice, which resulted in significant internal injuries. His condition remains vital as he continues to receive medical care. Various local fundraisers are going on within the community. 

A 56-year-old man arranged an interview at the Feather River (Seventh Day) Adventist School's principal as a ruse to be on campus.  A couple of days before Dec. 4, Litton reached out to the school via phone call to make an appointment saying he wanted to "enroll his grandson into the school."

He showed up to the appointment and met with the school's principal. It was reported that Litton and the staff held a cordial conversation, asking what it would take to enroll his grandson in the school. Honea said that Litton's story was that his daughter had recently moved to Gridley, that he wanted his grandson to go to that school, and that he was willing to pay the tuition.

As it turns out, that was all a lie," said Sheriff Honea. "His daughter did not move to Gridley and he did not have a grandson. It appears to us [BCSO] that, that story was a reuse to set up an appointment so he could gain access to the campus.

Motivation Behind the Shooting

According to Sheriff Kory Honea, Litton's motivation stemmed from his misguided belief that the Seventh-Day Adventists were involved in the genocide and oppression of Palestinians, as well as the U.S. attack on Yemen. This belief was evident in a typed note found on Litton's body and subsequent correspondence with others.

"countermeasure involving child executions has now been imposed at the Seventh Day Adventist school in California, United States, by The International Alliance. I, Lieutenant Glenn Litton of the Alliance carried out countermeasure in necessitated response to Americans involvement with Genocide and Oppression of Palestinians along with attacks towards Yemen."

FBI have been working diligently to determine if there is an "International Alliance" and if one of their stated purposes is to "engage in terrorist acts of this nature."

Honea said at Thursday's press conference that officials have not been able to find any organization that calls themselves the "International Alliance" that is active in this regard. Honea also said in regards to Litton referring to himself as a "Lieutenant," law enforcement has not yet found any information that would lead them to believe the "International Alliance" has any military structure.

Litton had an extensive criminal history, according to the FBI, Sheriff Honea and Butte County District Attorney. Litton suffered from mental illness, although his diagnosis is currently unknown, according to Honea.
