Official: Calif. shooter’s wife found dead, “concealed under the floorboards”

Including gunman Kevin Jansen Neal, six people died in the Tuesday’s rampage, an official said

RED BLUFF, Calif. — Investigators in Tehama County spent much of the day Tuesday looking for the wife of a man who was shot dead by law enforcement after going on a rampage in a small northern California town, killing five and injuring nine others.

Ultimately, her’s was the final death attributed to gunman Kevin Janson Neal. Her body was found beneath floorboards in his Rancho Tehama Reserve home, Tehama County Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston said at a press conference Wednesday. Neighbors told investigators Tuesday that they believed there was a domestic violence incident at Neal’s home the day before.

Johnston said investigators believe she was killed Monday.

“We believe that’s probably what started this whole event,” Johnston said.

It’s not clear what happened in the hours between when officials say Neal murdered his wife and began his shooting spree at 7:54 a.m. Tuesday, but Johnston said Neal’s attempt to cover up his wife’s body was apparent.

“There was a hole cut in the floor ... we’re confident that he murdered her, shot her at some point on Monday, and just put her body in the hole in the floor and just covered it up,” Johnston said.

The shooting rampage spanned seven scenes. The first two people Neal shot and killed were neighbors before he stole their truck and sought seemingly random victims elsewhere, including an elementary school, where he was locked out.

A total of six people died, including Neal, who was shot and killed by police, and nine were injured, including seven children, Johnston said. Four of the children were at the school during the incident, and suffered injuries “ranging from very minor to life threatening,” Johnston said.

One child remains in critical condition.

Please try to refrain from such uninformed broad brush generalizations.

I made no such generalization.

“”This individual was driving down the road choosing targets. He chased people in the vehicle, shooting at them,” Johnston said.

Sarah Gonzales had just dropped off her daughter at Rancho Tehama Elementary School when the gunman blocked her car, CBS News correspondent Jamie Yuccas reports.

“He pretty much stopped me and shot at me three times through his windshield,” Gonzales said.

When he stopped firing, she said he continued toward the school. School officials heard gunshots and made a critical decision to lock it down.

“The quick action of those school officials, there is no doubt in my mind, saved countless lives,” Tehama County Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston said.

The gunman tried to enter the school but couldn’t get in. He fired about 30 rounds in six minutes before he took off.

A short time later, a patrol car rammed the suspect’s vehicle. Officers then opened fire and killed him.

Neal had been charged with stabbing one of the slain neighbors in January, and Neal’s mother told the Associated Press she posted the $160,000 bail for him and had spent over $10,000 on lawyer’s fees. Neal had been involved in a long-running dispute with his neighbors, the woman said.

The mother, who spoke on condition she be named only as Anne because she fears for her safety, said her son told her the neighbor was slightly cut after Neal grabbed a steak knife out of the hand of the neighbor who was threatening him with it.

The head of the area’s homeowners association said neighbors had been complaining about Neal firing guns excessively on the property, which sits at the end of a dirt road.

The mother wept as she told The Associated Press she spoke to Neal on the phone on Monday.

“Mom it’s all over now,” she said he told her. “I have done everything I could do and I am fighting against everyone who lives in this area.”

She said Neal apologized to her during their brief conversation, she thought for all the money she had spent on him, saying he was “on a cliff” and the people around him were trying to “execute” him.

“I think the motive of getting even with his neighbors and when it went that far - he just went on a rampage,” Johnston said.

This refusal to be troubled to help when the help is needed is not a new problem. Reference:The parable of the Good Samaritan.

Perhaps if you had spent some effort to post a coherent comment, I could have surmised what your intent. It’s also puzzling why the people who were the object of the comment were not included in the address (or why I was included at all).

Yep. I'm an EMT so I have my big bag plus an IFAK in my go bag.

Plus the other EDC stuff that may come in handy in a similar situation.

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Thank you for putting it in the right perspective.

The good samaritan never worried about being taken to court by the person he helped because they claim he didnt do something right or made things worse.

Thank you for your RUDE comments! Guess that is just the way you are. Take a chill pill. Will not reply to anything you post in the future so as not to get RUDE remarks. May the rest of your life be filled with joy and happiness.

[sparklite2]

RUDE is implying that I should more carefully read a garbage post (does your preview not work?) that was not addressed to its subjects, and should not have been directed to me at all.

Your umbrage is noted and your presence will be appreciated in its absence.
