One dead as shooter hits California retreat
AFP - Thursday, April 9
LOS ANGELES (AFP) - - At least one person was killed and three injured when a gunman opened fire at a Korean Christian retreat in California, police said early on Wednesday.

The shooting took place late on Tuesday inside the grounds of the Kkottongnae Retreat Camp near the city of Temecula, the Riverside County sheriff's office said.
"There were four shooting victims. There is one person deceased; three were transferred out by ambulance and one by air (helicopter)," sheriff's deputy Herlinda Valenzuela told AFP.
The rampage rocked the camp which is run by a Christian social group called the Congregation of the Sisters of Jesus,, she said.
Valenzuela could not immediately confirm local media reports saying the gunman was either dead or wounded.
"It is a great possibility but it is still under investigation," she said.
"They are not actively looking for a suspect," she told AFP, noting that two of the victims were found far from the other two inside the sprawling facility.
The Press-Enterprise daily quoted the California Highway Patrol as saying officers went to the retreat after hearing a man had shot his wife.
The paper also quoted an official at the sherrif's office as saying the shooter was among the injured.
The shooting came just hours after a gunman in Alabama shot dead his wife, daughter and two other people before killing himself.
It was the latest in a wave of murder-suicides that have shocked the United States, where gun ownership is a constitutionally guaranteed right.
The body of Kevin Garner, 45, was found Tuesday near the home he formerly shared with his estranged wife in Morgan County, Alabama.
Law enforcement agents said he had earlier gunned down his wife, his daughter, a sister and her nephew.
Last weekend a man in Washington state shot dead his five children before killing himself after discovering his wife was leaving him. Also at the weekend, three police officers were killed by a man in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
A day earlier, a man who had recently lost his job stormed an immigrant services center where he had been learning English in Binghamton, New York and killed 13 people before taking his own life.
On March 29, a heavily-armed gunman shot dead eight people at a North Carolina nursing home.
Several days earlier, another six people were killed in a murder-suicide in in northern California's Silicon Valley.
On March 10, an unemployed man killed his mother, grandmother and eight others on a vicious shooting rampage in Alabama.
