Shooting injures multiple people at California School

Multiple people were injured, at least two of them critically, in a shooting at a Southern California high school on Thursday morning, officials said. Suspect in shooting at Southern California high school on Thursday morning is dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, officials said.

About an hour after the shooting at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita was reported at 8 am local time, authorities said they had located the suspected shooter and that the person is "no longer a threat''.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva told television station KABC that the suspect is believed to be part of the student body. No other details were given

Villanueva said there are at least three victims, including at least one gunshot victim. All three are believed to be students, said the sheriff.

Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital tweeted that it has received two patients in critical condition and that other patients were en route to the hospital.

Saugus High School is in the county of Los Angeles about 40 miles north of the Los Angeles.

Sophomore Brooklyn Moreno said she was in the school's quad when she heard what she thought was a balloon popping.

"I just started running," she told television station KABC. "There were girls falling in front of me and I tried to help them up, then just kept running cause I didn't want to get hurt, either."

"I never thought this would happen at my school," Moreno said. "I'm still kinda in shock right now. I've been shaking and crying a lot -- I'm an emotional wreck."

One student told KABC he was headed to school when a few friends texted him to not go because they heard shots.

"At first I didn't believe it," said the sophomore. "You would never think this would happen... I saw cops and I stopped and I called my mom and she told me to come straight home."

Students were led single file through the campus by armed officers. Multiple ambulances were spotted at the scene as worried parents jammed the streets.
