Four shot at Korean retreat in California

TEMEULCA, Calif., April 8 (UPI) -- Investigators searched for more possible victims at a Korean retreat in California where at least four people were shot and two hospitalized, officials said.

Reports were conflicting about whether anyone had died in the shooting. CNN reported one fatality while the Los Angeles Times said officials couldn't confirm the death.

A spokesman for the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said officials thought a suspected gunman may be among the injured at the Kkottongnae Retreat Camp, located in the hills east of Temecula, Calif., the Times reported Wednesday.

Police were called to the facility after receiving reports of an assault with a deadly weapon resulting in several victims, a sheriff's deputy said.

"Because of the language barrier, we don't know who the shooter is yet. But we feel there is no one out in the community who is armed," Sheriff's Department spokesman Dennis Gutierrez said.

The center, run by the Congregation of the Sisters of Jesus, is a Christian social service organization founded in South Korea that provides help to orphans and the homeless. Its Web site lists California locations in Lynwood and the Temecula area, as well as facilities in Atlanta and New Jersey.
