At least, two students have been fatally shot and three others injured in a Thursday morning shooting in Southern California, according to authorities.
A 14-year-old boy and 16-year-old girl were shot dead by a classmate who opened fire at the high school. The shooter, a 16-year-old male was taken into custody and is in the hospital in “grave condition” from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said.
Detectives reviewed video from the scene which showed the gunman in the quad of Saugus High School in Santa Clarita when he took a gun from his backpack, shot five people and then shot himself in the head, authorities said. The early morning school shooting was on the suspect’s birthday, authorities said.
