There are at least three victims in a shooting Thursday morning at a high school in Santa Clarita, where the search continues for the shooter.
Police and firefighters responded to Saugus High School, about 40 miles north of Los Angeles. Initial reports from the Los Angeles County Fire Department indicated there were seven victims. That figure was later revised to three victims.
Details about the victims’ conditions were not immediately available. Some of the victims are students.
“We have multiple victims down,” said Sgt. Bob Boese of the LA County Sheriff’s Department. “Our deputies are doing a systematic search of the campus, trying to locate the suspect.”
Details about the shooting and shooter were not immediately available. No arrests were reported early Thursday.
The sheriff’s department alerted nearby residents to lock their doors and remain inside.
“If you see suspect, male dark clothing, in backyards, etc. CALL 911,” the department tweeted.
Aerial video showed students with hands raised being escorted by deputies from the school of about 2,300 students.
At least nine ambulances were requested by the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
Nearby schools were locked down.
Central Park on Bouquet Canyon Road was being used for a family reunification center.
