23:44 (GMT+4) At least four people were killed in a shooting Tuesday morning that started at a home and moved to an elementary school in Tehama County, and the shooter was also killed by law enforcement, the sheriff's department said, KCRA reported.

Multiple shots were fired about 8 a.m. at Rancho Tehama School on Stagecoach Road on the outskirts of Corning, northwest of Chico, Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston said.

One student was shot and taken to a hospital, and a second child and a woman were also shot inside a truck, Johnston said.

So far, three people were taken by ground ambulance and a fourth was airlifted to Enloe Medical Center in Chico, hospital officials said. Three of them were children and one was an adult, KCRA's affiliate Action News Now reported.

The conditions of the hospitalized victims have not been released.

"I know that we have (airlifted) a number of students," Johnston said. "I know that the school's been cleared. I know that we have children that were attending school in a safe location at this time."

The gunman was "randomly picking targets" as he fired shots at seven shooting scenes in the area, Johnston said. It began as a domestic violence incident on Bobcat Lane that was reported by neighbors.

Officers found a semiautomatic rifle and two handguns that the shooter used, Johnston said.

More than 100 law enforcement officers are investigating the shooting, Johnston said.
