Alturas Police Chief Ken Barnes says 44-year-old Sherrie Rhoades is in custody after allegedly opening fire yesterday at the Cedarville Rancheria Tribal Office and Community Center.
Barnes says in a report carried by KRCR-TV that the four dead include a 19-year-old woman, a 30-year-old man, a 45-year-old woman and a 50-year-old man. The police chief says one victim is the tribe's leader.
Barnes says members were meeting about evicting Rhoades and her son from the Rancheria which, according to its website, is a federally recognized tribe with 35 members.
