4 shot, 1 dead during rampage in California

A gunman opened fire at a remote Korean Christian retreat centre 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.
A nursing supervisor at the Inland Valley Regional Medical Centre near the retreat said she had no information on any of the victims.
The retreat is one of four US branches of the Kkottongnae Brothers and Sisters of Jesus, a Roman Catholic organization dedicated to serving the poor and homeless. It was founded in the city of Cheongju, South Korea, by Father Oh Woong Jin in 1976.
Kkottongnae means "flower village," according to the organisation's Web site.
Deputies had evacuated the campground and blocked off access. Nothing could be seen from the main road.
Several women from the retreat sat wrapped in blankets outside the law enforcement lines.
"This is the last place this is supposed to happen," Gutierrez said. "A lot of people are shaken up."
Chang Kim of Los Angeles stood at the scene, saying his 88-year-old mother lives up the road that was blocked off. Kim said he was concerned because he could not reach her.
"My mother lives up there," he said. "I can't go there. I can't get in. I'm stuck."
