Bishop Jaime Soto of Sacramento, California, asked his brother bishops meeting in Baltimore to pray for the victims of America's latest shooting tragedy.
The bishops were gathered for the second day of their annual autumn assembly on November 14. Early that morning in northern California, a gunman opened fire at random locations in a rural area, including near a school, leaving at least four people dead and at least 10 others injured.
AP reported that sheriff's deputies fatally shot the gunman, named by the Tehama County District Attorney as 43-year-old Kevin Janson Neal. He was the fifth fatality in the incident. At least three children were among those being treated for injuries.
