An update on a school shooting at a Butte County religious school. Also, a new book chronicles the undamming of the Klamath River and homecoming of salmon. Finally, an interactive art exhibit in downtown Sacramento.
Two kindergarten students are in critical condition after a shooting at a small religious school in Butte County. The shooting happened at the Feather River School of Seventh-Day Adventists in Oroville on Wednesday. The sheriff’s office says the suspected gunman died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The Klamath River flows through the Cascade Mountains in Southern Oregon, crossing into California until reaching the Pacific Ocean in Del Norte County. A sight generations in the making is now unfolding. Salmon are returning to spawn in waters that have been cut off for more than a century. This milestone began after the largest dam removal project in U.S. history. The Klamath River was once the third largest salmon producing river in the West Coast. In recent decades, tribal communities fought to un-dam and restore hundreds of miles of fish habitat. A battle that our next guest has closely followed. Stephen Most is the author of River of Renewal: Myth and History in the Klamath Basin and joins Insight ahead of an event at the California Museum discussing this historic watershed restoration.
Art is more than just a visual medium. That’s the message behind a new interactive art exhibit in downtown Sacramento from CADA, the Capitol Area Development Authority. The exhibit is called Come to Your Senses and runs through Feb. 9 at the former Capital Athletic Club building at 8th and O streets. It engages all five senses through tactile art, immersive light displays, and soundscape creation. Danielle Foster is the executive director of CADA and she joins us, along with Buddy Hale who is the founder of MusicLandria.
