On 20 February 2014, 44-year-old Cherie Lash Rhoades, the former tribal chairperson (who had been recently ousted and was under federal investigation over at least $50,000 in missing funds), opened fire in the tribe's Alturas office during a tribal eviction meeting. She killed four people and wounded two others using a 9mm semi-automatic handgun. When she ran out of ammunition, she grabbed a
butcher knife from the office kitchen and stabbed one person who was already injured by gunshots. She later ran outside, knife in her hand, where she was arrested. Rhoades was attending an eviction hearing at the office (against her and her son) when she began her attack. Police arrested Rhoades after she ran outside and took her into custody. Those killed included the suspect's brother, 50-year-old Rurik Davis; her niece, 19-year-old Angel Penn; and her nephew, 30-year-old Glenn Calonicco. The fourth person killed was 47-year-old Sheila Lynn Russo, the tribal administrator and a mother of two. Rhoades was ultimately sentenced to death for these murders in April 2017. Her case is notable due to her being a rare example of a female
mass shooter. ==Education==
