The bloodshed began shortly before 8 a.m.   Phil Johnston  an assistant sheriff in Tehama County   told reporters. Police received âmultiple 911 calls of multiple different shooting sites  including the elementary schoolâ in Rancho Tehama Reserve  a small area about 135 miles north of Sacramento   he  said.
âIt was very clear early on that we had a subject that was randomly picking targets â  Johnston  said.

Johnston  said police did not immediately know what may have motivated the attack  which stretched across at least seven locations. Officials believe they have identified the shooter  though they were working to confirm the manâs name   Johnston  said.
The gunman  who was previously known to law enforcement  did not appear to have any âreal connection to any of the victims â  Johnston  said.
While details about what led up to the gunfire remained unclear   Johnston  said authorities were told by neighbors that âthere was a domestic violence incidentâ involving the suspected attacker.  He  later said police were âaware of reportsâ that this incident occurred a day before the shootings.
 Johnston  also said there appeared to be an ongoing âneighborhood disputeâ involving the attacker  who had a residence in Rancho Tehama.
After the first gunfire on Tuesday morning   Johnston  said  the attacker âtook a vehicle and went on a shooting rampage throughout the community.â
No children were killed in the attacks   Johnston  said  but at least two boys were injured. One was shot and wounded when the gunman  who was outside the school  began firing rounds into the building. Another boy was shot while riding in a truck âthat was driving down the road along with a female adultâ who was driving her children to school   Johnston  said. Both children were among those taken to area hospitals.
 Johnston  said victims were attacked with no clear explanation. The woman driving her children to school had passed the gunmanâs car when âhe opened fire on them without provocation or warning â  Johnston  said. She suffered âvery life-threatening wounds â while her child in the back seat did not suffer life-threatening wounds  he said.
âItâs a very sad day for us here in Tehama County â  Johnston  said.

The FBI said it was sending teams to help local authorities respond to the shooting  and the Bureau of Alcohol  Tobacco  Firearms and Explosives said it was dispatching special agents to the scene as well.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ted Cruz is Neutral . But could it be that U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas does n't get personally grilled by constituents very often ? 
The listed events Cruz attended from April through August 2017 demonstrate that the term ` town hall ' can be stretched every which way , even to events not open to the public . 
All told , it looks to us like Cruz took questions at gatherings of selected constituents , mostly business employees -- with the three veterans events open to members of the public who registered . 
Regardless , the Houston lawyer was told during the 2017 Texas Tribune Festival about a Democratic challenger 's suggestion that Cruz had n't visited small Texas towns during the term he won in 2012 . 
"Do you do enough interaction with your constituents , Sen. Cruz ?" 
Cruz , asked if he interacts enough with constituents , said : "In 2017 , I 've done 17 town halls" in Texas . 
Cruz replied : "That is a huge part of the job . 
A town hall , Cruz spokesman Phil Novack later noted by email , is defined by Merriam-Webster as "an event at which a public official or political candidate addresses an audience by answering questions posed by individual members ." 
Cruz , a Republican poised to seek re-election in 2018 , hardly has a reputation of avoiding attention . 
Novack otherwise told us Cruz had held 19 town halls with Texas constituents in 2017 , all "organized by third parties who determined attendees , where" the senator "has taken unvetted questions from anyone in the crowd -- at businesses , factories , chambers of commerce , and in public venues ." 
The businesses , including Division Laundry & Cleaners in San Antonio , Sysco Central Texas in New Braunfels and Igloo Products Corp. in Katy , had employee town halls with Cruz , the chart says . 
The veterans group , per the chart , hosted Cruz at July events in McKinney , Austin and Houston . 
By email to our inquiry , a CVA spokesman , Jim Fellinger , told us each CVA event with Cruz was open to the public by registration , without the group screening out anybody who registered . 
Fellinger pointed us to video posts of the CVA events showing that Cruz each time took questions via a moderator , who recognized a few individuals to speak directly to Cruz . 
Cruz 's office lists 19 events . 
Next , we confirmed from press releases , news stories and video snippets that Cruz made the appearances described in the Novack-provided chart . 
Events in bold on the chart below were open to reporters , Phil Novack , a spokesman for Sen. Ted Cruz , said . 
SOURCE : Chart provided by email from Phil Novack , press secretary to U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz , Sept. 28 , 2017 . 
We also asked Novack to share 2017 events Cruz had in Texas that were open to the public without registration -- where anyone could ask a question on any topic . 
Experts evaluate Cruz 's claim . 
Next , we shared our annotated version of the chart by email with academic experts and requested appraisals of Cruz 's statement that he 'd done 17 "town halls ." 
It seems these town halls are open only to the people from the sections of ` town ' that support Ted Cruz . 
In contrast , Trim , who directs a Pepperdine public engagement institute , said Cruz 's use of the "town hall" term struck her as "valid within the common use of the term ` town hall ' in 21st century America ." 
Mark Jones , a Rice University political scientist , said Cruz 's claim fits a "minimalist" definition of town hall in that they involved the senator speaking to , and fielding questions from , constituents from all walks of life across the state . 
But for a town hall "maximalist ," Jones wrote , none of Cruz 's events would qualify as a town hall "because they were held in largely controlled settings and were not open to the general public" with the exception of the veterans gatherings open to people registering ahead of time . 
John Gastil , a Penn State University professor , said that while the "town hall" term has lost clarity of definition over the years , he thinks Cruz 's claim was made to affirm his availability to the public . 
Cruz 's claim "strikes me as dubious ," Gastil summed up .

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Albert Chatfield is Neutral . Police dash cam video of the incident shows  Albert Chatfield  immediately emerging from  his  car at an intersection and backpedaling from two police officers  who repeatedly shout for  him  to "stop." As  he  continues to back up through the street  one officer pulls out his Taser and  after the other officer is heard shouting "tase him " fires it.  Chatfield  is knocked to the ground instantly.
 The city  agreed to pay $900 000 to Chatfield's family over the incident  one of the fastest settlements in a Taser case in the state ever  according to the family's lawyer.  Chatfield  remains in the hospital after suffering bleeding on  his  brain due to the fall  according to ABC affiliate WCIV.
Police had claimed  Chatfield  assumed a "fighting stance" as  he  backpedaled from police. The video shows  the man  raising  his  hands  but  he  is slowly backing away from the officers throughout. The police report also described the scene as a busy street  saying they were trying to protect  Chatfield  and others' safety  though the video shows just one car in the intersection.
The family's lawyer  Justin Bamberg  blamed the police chase on a mental issue. Police had been called after  Chatfield  was aggressively tailgating other vehicles.
Bamberg said the money would be used to pay for  Chatfield 's medical expenses.
