BREAKING: Teen arrested in Chico library shooting inspired by Columbine massacre

The Chico Police Department said in a Tuesday morning news release that there is no indication that suspect Bradley Scott Sayer had any relationship with any of the victims in the library, and said his motive was to commit a Columbine High School massacre-type shooting.

Police responded to reports of gunfire shortly after 5 p.m. at the Chico library in the Butte County Library system. During a 911 call, dispatchers could hear gunshots and screams in the background. Officers entered the library while the suspect fled through a rear exit. Additional law enforcement personnel stationed behind the building quickly took the suspect into custody.

Jeannie Lee Schroeder, who had been in the area, filmed police holding the suspected gunman on the ground. "I was surprised the police officers were at the front of the library on the Sheridan side of the library as we were going past. I saw somebody in a white-colored T-shirt running, and then two police officers took him down and tackled him to the ground, and it just registered, 'Oh my God, they got him,'" Schroeder said per Action News.

"One (officer) was behind him. He was running toward the street, and then one person was coming from an angle in front of him, and another police officer was coming from behind," Schroeder said. "I couldn't believe I was witnessing it in real time."

The names of the two victims have not been released. A child was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

In response to the shooting, all Butte County library branches were closed on Tuesday. In a statement posted on Facebook, officials offered their sympathies to everyone affected by the shooting.
