Summary
Two adults were killed and a juvenile suffered a minor injury after a gunman opened fire inside Chico’s Butte County Library branch around 5 p.m. Monday.
One firearm was used in the library, and officers responding to a 911 call heard gunfire and screams before the suspect tried to flee through a back door, where police took him into custody.
Chico police said the library was open during the shooting and that streets around the branch would stay closed late into the night as investigators processed the scene.
The FBI, Butte County Sheriff’s Office and other agencies joined the investigation, which is examining whether the suspect acted alone; police said they saw no further threat to the public.
