Two teenagers are dead and three others injured after a shooter opened fire at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. - A California high school student pulled a .45 caliber semiautomatic handgun from his backpack and fired on fellow students as classes began on Thursday, killing two and wounding three others.The teenaged gunman survived the self-inflicted gunshot to the head and was in grave condition, law enforcement officials said. Investigators were still searching for what drove the student toward the rampage at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita, about 40 miles north of Los Angeles.
The killer remained unidentified. Police only described him as Asian, and said he acted alone. They searched his family home and found no further danger. This is at least the 85th incident of gunfire on school grounds this year, according to Everytown, an advocacy group for stricter gun laws.Sean Murillo, 17, a football player at Saugus High School, said he was walking toward his coach’s office when he heard shots about 10 feet away and ducked into a classroom and waited.
“We’ve had drills. It doesn’t prepare you for the real thing,” she said after reuniting with her father at Central Park.
