Two people have been killed in California after a shooting in a public library — the suspect is in custody, police said.

The incident happened Monday afternoon in the Chico branch of the Butte County Library, in northern California. Police responded to multiple 9-11 calls about 5:12 p.m. local time, reporting “gunshots and screaming” from within the small library.

Two unnamed adults were killed, police said, and one juvenile was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

“The incident this evening was obviously very sad, traumatic for a lot of people. Very traumatic for our community,” Chief of Chico Police, Billy Aldridge, said at a news conference.

He said the library had been open at the time of the “active shooter incident,” which saw the suspect use a single firearm.
