OROVILLE, Calif. (KION-TV)- A woman that was shot and killed in a mass shooting inside a Greyhound bus headed for Los Angeles Wednesday night has been identified.

The Butte County Sheriff's Office said that 43-year-old Karin Dalton of Seattle, Washington was killed.

Dalton was traveling with her 14-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter to start a new life in New Mexico, the Butte County District Attorney Mike Ramsey told KION.

Dalton's 11-year-old daughter was among one of the victims and was shot twice in the face and will be permanently scarred but is expected to be released from the hospital Friday, Ramsey said.

Coleman fired the shots at the front of the bus and a dozen 9mm shell casings were found during the investigation said, Ramsey.

The other three victims are:

  • A pregnant 25-year-old woman from Las Vegas who remains in critical condition, but her condition has improved.
  • A 38-year-old Joshua Fulbright from Oklahoma who has minor inuries after a bullet hit the back of his skull after losing power from hitting another target.
  • A 32-year-old man from Portland, Oregon who sustained multiple gunshot wounds and is in critical condition after having undergone several surgeries.

Coleman was scheduled for an arraignment hearing Friday in Butte County Superior Court but did not want to come out of his cell.

His arraignment is now scheduled for Feb. 9 at 8:30 a.m.
