TEMECULA, Calif. – A gunman opened fire at a remote Korean Christian retreat center Tuesday night, leaving one person dead and at least three people injured, authorities said.
Authorities were first called to the rural area about 7 p.m. after receiving reports about a man shooting his wife, California Highway Patrol spokesman Mario Lopez said.
But investigators were still trying to learn the circumstances of the shootings, and were hindered by a language barrier in trying to sort out the facts, Riverside County Sheriff's spokesman Dennis Gutierrez said.
"We have some nuns that are very distraught," he said.
The name and age of the suspected shooter was not released and the identity of the dead victim were being withheld until relatives were notified.
At least two of the victims were critically injured. The gunman was also believed to be among the wounded at the Kkottongnae Retreat Camp, located in Temecula about 85 miles southeast of Los Angeles.

Apparently started as a domestic dispute.

Wow...I don't know what's up but these incidents are coming in fast and furious...Here is one down in Louisville just now...
Developing Story: LMPD officer, 3 others shot in Okolona
12:36 PM EDT on Wednesday, April 8, 2009
(WHAS11/AP)-- A veteran Louisville Metro Police officer and three others were shot in Okolona early Wednesday morning after a naked man managed to gain control of the officer's gun.
The female officer was responding to a domestic call in the 5200 block of Ronwood Drive in around 8:00 Wednesday morning.
LMPD Chief Robert White says the officer was shot twice in the leg with her own weapon after an altercation with the suspect.
The officer had served on the force for 15 years.
White says when the officer arrived at the scene, a naked man came out of the house and refused to obey her commands.
Eyewitness Larry Gaus said the officer was standing beside her car when the naked man approached her and the officer ordered the suspect to stay back.
Gaus said the man began to chase the officer around her patrol car.
Police say the officer unsuccessfully tried to use a Taser, then fired her gun.
The Chief said a struggle ensued and the man gained control of the officer’s weapon and shot her.
"The man had the intention of going after the officer," Gaus said.
A neighbor and the suspect's girlfriend were also shot. Police say their injuries don’t appear to be life-threatening.
The officer and the three others who were shot were transported to University Hospital.

America is turning into a bad Sci fi movie. Parts of cities being excluded from services, squatters, luxury boats being abandoned at moor or set adrift. In the desert cars being burned and run off cliffs because people cant pay . Wild and crazy stuff. I'm glad I live out and away from any city. Distraught people killing loved ones and disturbed people killing anyone .

Unfortunately, some people are seeing this as a reason to ban guns, instead of a resaon to get armed.

We need to have the same standards for both men and women.

Dang...that many already? I guess it's easy to do with all the folks on here that make for good conversation.
And good grief...I just actually looked and noticed 20 1/2 days logged on the forum.... yeah, days!...that's a long time when you think of it.
I guess my wife's right...the older I get the more I like to talk (she says I'm like my mother, who could talk the ears off an elephant).
You guy's make it easy.
8)
It would be a lot worse if I could type fast........ ;D ;D
I'll shut up now....or at least speak towards the topic......
There has been no further info on the two officers that were shot here this past weekend that I posted about on another thread. Seems like people are going nuts everywhere. Or the nuts are just showing themselves at the same time.
It's sad for the families of the victims...to go through that AND have it played out on TV and everywhere around the world.
I guess when the MSM only has one thing under the microscope (gun violence), it looks bigger than it really is in the big picture.

That Korean retreat is right next to my friend's house. I was just there yesterday afternoon taking my 6 year old daughter shooting a .22 rifle for the first time! Just seems to be very odd to be so close to shootings around when they happen. Other friend's of ours live right next door to the house from the Christmas Eve Massacre in Covina. Damn I want my CA CCW permit!!!

Are foreigners going crazy at a much higher rate than native born people or what? Very odd.
