Not clear if she was the ..evictee...but can't think of why she would be so upset if she wasn't.
details still sketchy...

Four people are dead and two are injured in a shooting during a tribal hearing in Alturas, Calif., just south of the Oregon border, according to the Modoc County Record.

A woman at an eviction hearing at the Cedarville Rancheria Northern Paiute Tribe office got upset during the proceedings. She stood up and started shooting, the Modoc County Record said.

The woman shot and killed an Alturas police officer before shooting and killing three other people. Another person shot and wounded while running out of the building. The woman then picked up a butcher's knife and stabbed a sixth person.

The suspect was arrested at the scene.

Why were there no metal detectors? Why was there a butcher knife accessible in the midst of this hearing ?

a hearing in a state court. The hearing I went to on a Kickapoo reservation was very informal and more like a conversation than a court hearing. It was a council and was held at a community center.

Was this hearing on tribal land? How can one be allowed to be armed?

Police: 4 dead, 2 injured in N. Calif. shooting
By Associated Press, Updated: Thursday, February 20, 8:23 PM

ALTURAS, Calif. — Police say four people are dead and two others are wounded in a shooting Thursday inside an American Indian tribal headquarters in Northern California.

Alturas Police Chief Ken Barnes says that 44-year-old Sherrie Rhoades is in custody in Modoc County Jail after allegedly opening fire around 3:30 p.m. at the Cedarville Rancheria Tribal Office and Community Center

Barnes says in a report carried by KRCR-TV (http://bit.ly/1mg4r43) that the four dead included 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 of the victims is the tribe’s leader.

According to Barnes, members were holding a meeting on evicting Rhoades and her son from the Rancheria, which, according to its website, is a federally recognized tribe with 35 members.
