SACRAMENTO, CA — There was a massive police response to a reported active shooter at a church in the Arden area of Sacramento County Monday evening.
The scene is near Wyda Way and Ethan Way — the site of ‘The Church in Sacramento.’
Police have provided few details. Although, scanner reports indicated ‘multiple people down.’

Ban guns!
See, see!! Trump’s racist and homophobic CPAC speech!!
A church elder who spoke with KCRA 3 said the church — including its gates — were closed at the time. The only person who would have been there was the caretaker, who the elder said was not there.
Sacramento City Council Member Eric Guerra tweeted that the shooting was a mass casualty incident.

Churches in California? Who knew?
Both of those observations can’t be true? Unless this was outside the normal use of the church. Mondays are usually not meeting nights with protestants...
There are an awful lot of police cars there, but I haven’t seen any ambulances, paramedics etc.
Don’t know how old the video is that is playing on the site I linked.
I don’t have a current LIVE link.
Hate crime.
Lack of EMT’s is probably because they hadn’t secured the area yet... at the time that video was shot...
“Mondays are usually not meeting nights with protestants...”

Some kind of deacons meeting or the like, maybe?
(Midweek is bible study for many evangelical churches)
UPDATE: Police confirm 5 dead, including the suspect, his three children, and one other person. Details soon.

Support groups like AA often meet in churches.

Very sad... thanks for the update.
Sounds like a family thing, not something random. Extra sad when kids get killed.

Sudden jihad syndrome.
Probably a family counseling session that went south...
A mass casualty incident in an empty building?
No, people were apparently there for some meeting or other.
Could have been meeting with the pastor? We’ll find out soon what exactly happened.
That’s why we need to keep the victims of this tragedy in our prayers.
