RANCHO TEHAMA RESERVE, Calif. -- The wife of a gunman who went on a
shooting rampage in a Northern California town was found dead inside their home, authorities announced Wednesday, raising the death toll from the
attack to five.

Investigators discovered the body of Kevin Janson Neal's wife hidden under
the floor. They believe her slaying was the start of the rampage, said
Tehama County Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston.
Neal shot and killed four other people and wounded 10 at different
locations around the rural community of Rancho Tehama Reserve. Police
later shot and killed him.

At the time of the attack, the gunman was out on bail after he was charged
with stabbing a neighbor. Others had complained about him firing hundreds
of rounds from his house, and he had been the subject of a domestic
violence call the day before the shootings.

Yet Neal was free and able to use a semi-automatic rifle and two handguns Tuesday to shoot 14 people, including at an elementary school, before he
died in a shootout with police.

It's not yet clear what the terms of Neal's bail were, and whether he
would have been allowed to possess and fire the weapons on his property at
the end of a dirt road in Rancho Tehama Reserve. Nor did sheriff's
officials give details on the domestic violence call.

But his many contacts with authorities raised questions of why he was out
of custody and able to go on the 45-minute rampage. Two of his neighbors
were killed in an apparent act of revenge before he went looking for
random victims.

Cristal Caravez and her father live across a ravine from the roadway where
the gunman and his first victims lived.

She said they and others heard constant gunfire from the area of the
gunman's house, but couldn't say for sure it was him firing.

"You could hear the yelling. He'd go off the hinges," she said. The
shooting, "it would be during the day, during the night, I mean, it didn't matter."

She and her father, who is president of the homeowners' association, said neighbors would complain to the sheriff's department, which referred the complaints back to the homeowners association.

"The sheriff wouldn't do anything about it," said Juan Caravez.

The gunman's sister, Sheridan Orr, said her brother had struggled with
mental illness throughout his life and at times had a violent temper.

She said Neal had "no business" owning firearms.

The shooter was facing charges of assaulting one of the feuding neighbors
in January and that she had a restraining order against him, Johnston
said. He did not comment on the shooter's access to firearms.

Johnston declined to identify the shooter until his relatives were
notified, but he confirmed the gunman was charged with assault in January
and had a restraining order placed against him. The district attorney,
Gregg Cohen, told the Sacramento Bee he is prosecuting a man named Kevin
Neal in that case.

Neal's mother told The Associated Press her son, who was a marijuana
grower, was in a long-running dispute with neighbors he believed were
cooking methamphetamine.

The mother, who spoke on condition she be named only as Anne because she
fears for her safety, lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, where she raised
Neal. She said she posted his $160,000 bail and spent $10,000 on a lawyer
after he was arrested in January for stabbing a neighbor. Neal's mother
said the neighbor was slightly cut after Neal grabbed a steak knife out of
the hand of the neighbor who was threatening him with it.

She 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.

Police said surveillance video shows the shooter unsuccessfully trying to
enter a nearby elementary school after quick-thinking staff members locked
the outside doors and barricaded themselves inside when they heard
gunshots.

Johnston said the gunman spent about six minutes shooting into Rancho
Tehama Elementary School before driving off to continue shooting
elsewhere. Johnston said one student was shot but is expected to survive.

He said the 45-minute rampage ended when a patrol car rammed the stolen
vehicle the shooter was driving and killed him in a shootout.

Johnston said officials received multiple 911 calls about gunfire at an intersection of two dirt roads. Minutes later, more calls reporting shots flooded in from different locations, including the school.

Witnesses reported hearing gunshots and children screaming at the school,
which has one class of students from kindergarten through fifth grade.

Rancho Tehama Reserve is in a sparsely populated area of rolling oak
woodlands dotted with grazing cattle about 130 miles north of Sacramento.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party has run out of gas.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for ending the disaster of the Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
