A man with a rifle opened fire outside a San Fernando Valley church Friday, wounding three people, one of them critically, police said.

Shots rang out shortly before 11 a.m. during a church school festival at St. John Baptist de la Salle, a Roman Catholic church in Granada Hills, Officer Norma Eisenman said.
Bystanders tackled the man and held him until he was taken into police custody, she said.

The gunman wounded three people, Eisenman said. Two were taken to a hospital in stable condition and one in critical condition, she said.

Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey said another person was treated for chest pains.

The motive for the attack was not immediately known, Eisenman said.

Church officials did not immediately return calls for comment.
