Two kindergartners shot at a Seventh-day Adventist school in Northern California are showing signs of improvement. One boy has been released from the hospital, while the other is able to wiggle his foot after surgery.
The families of two kindergartners shot at a Seventh-day Adventist school in Northern California said both boys are improving - one is already out of the hospital and the other is able to wiggle a foot. Elias Wolford, 5, who was shot on Dec. 4 at the Feather River Adventist School in Butte County, is still in the hospital, but his family wrote on a GoFundMe page that there's some good news.
A bullet hit his chest, abdomen and multiple organs and even though he can't move his legs, a few days ago, he wiggled his left foot.That's after three surgeries.His family wrote that they are soon planning on transferring him to a specialized hospital that focuses on spinal rehabilitation. The other boy who was shot, Roman Mendez, 6, was released from the hospital five days before Christmas and his family says he is doing well.'Roman is doing amazing,' his family wrote. 'God has truly taken care of him through this all.' Elias and Roman were shot by shooter Glenn Litton during recess. Sheriff Kory L. Honea said Litton then used the weapon — a so-called ghost gun — to kill himself just yards from the school’s playground.Glenn Litton used a 'ruse' of pretending to enroll a fictitious grandson to gain entry to the school, Honea said. He said that Litton was mentally ill and believed by targeting children he was carrying out 'counter-measures' in response to America’s involvement in Middle East violence, Honea said. Honea said the man is believed to have targeted the Feather River School in Wednesday’s attack, though it’s unclear why. Litton had attended a school of Seventh-Day Adventists in another town as a child, the sheriff said, and he possibly had a relative who attended Feather River as a young child.If you'd like to help Elias, click here.
