Multiple people were injured, at least two of them critically, in a shooting at a Southern California high school on Thursday morning, officials said.

The Los Angeles County sheriff's department said the suspected gunman, an Asian male wearing black clothing who was last seen at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita, was at large.

"This is an active shooter situation," said a tweet from the Santa Clarita Valley sheriff's office. "If you live in neighborhoods anywhere near Saugus High, PLEASE LOCK DOORS and stay inside. If you see suspect, male dark clothing, in backyards, etc. CALL 911"

Law enforcement officers were responding on Thursday morning to a reported shooting at a high school in Santa Clarita, Calif., the authorities said.
The Associated Press, citing Los Angeles County authorities, said six injuries were reported, and local television stations showed people being loaded into ambulances.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department urged people to avoid the area and tweeted that a male suspect in black clothing was last seen at the location.

Five people suffered gunshot wounds, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy Eric Ortiz told CBS2. Henry Mayo Hospital reported that it was treating two patients in critical condition and had another three en route.

Authorities were searching for a male Asian suspect in black clothing, the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department reports. The suspect was still at large as of 8:30 a.m. He was last seen running west towards Highlands Elementary School, Ortiz said.

“She heard the shots as well, she was in the quad where it started, and ran to the band room and locked the door behind her and told everybody to get down,” Skiba disclosed.

We don’t yet have all the details of the horrifying events in Santa Clarita. But we do know that in America today, children are scared to go to school. Parents and teachers are terrified. And that can’t stand. It is time to hold the NRA and our leaders in Washington accountable.

There is a shooting in a Santa Clarita high school with at least five injured, two critically. You know why? Guns. NRA. Mitch McConnell. That son of a bitch has taken $1.2 million in bribes from the NRA to make sure we have no gun control at all. And it's our kids who get shot.

Never let a tragedy go to waste when running a campaign.

Gun-control activists and Democratic presidential candidates have seized upon this news in order to advance the idea that it is time to pass whatever proposals they were already peddling, and, in concert, to blame those who disagree with them. In response, advocates of the right to keep and bear arms have pointed out that the shooting happened in California, which already has all the laws that Democrats in Congress tell us are necessary. This response is correct, of course, but it is also irrelevant given that the perpetrator was 16-years-old and that this case therefore doesn’t fit within our gun-control debate at all. In California, 16-year-olds are ineligible to buy handguns, to possess handguns, to carry handguns, and to take handguns onto school property. Nothing that was done here was legal at any point. No “loophole” was exploited. No liberty was abused. This was illegal from start to finish. Unless one is making a case for the forcible confiscation of every gun in America, there’s not a great deal to debate here.

Support goes out to the wounded and the families of both the wounded and those killed.

Therefore we should ban "Assault weapons" like AK-47s and AR-15s and other semi-automatic rifles.
