Butte County law enforcement officials on Thursday revealed that the gunman behind Wednesday’s shooting at a private K-8 school was allegedly attempting “child executions” because of American involvement in the alleged genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

Two kindergarten children were wounded in the shooting, which took place at the Feather River School of Seventh-Day Adventists in Palermo, California. The suspected shooter also died that day from a self-inflicted gunshot.

The suspected shooter has been identified as 56-year-old Glenn Litton, a homeless man with a lengthy criminal record who moved between the Chico and Sacramento areas, according to CBS News.

The development comes after authorities obtained the man’s writing, which gave the motive for the shooting, and referenced something called the “International Alliance.” However, Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea said authorities have found no evidence of the alliance, and the suspect has a history of mental illness, per the Daily Wire.

“Countermeasure involving child executions has now been imposed at the Seventh-Day Adventist school in California, United States by the International Alliance,” Litton wrote. “Lieutenant [Litton] of the Alliance, carried out countermeasure in necessitated response to America’s involvement in Genocide and Oppression of Palestinians along with attack towards Yemen.”

Litton also previously attended a Seventh-Day Adventist school in the area as a child.

Authorities have also identified the children who were injured as 6-year-old Roman Mendez and 5-year-old Elias Wolford. Mendez was shot twice and Wolford was shot a single time, in the stomach. Both are still in the hospital in critical condition.
