LOS ANGELES – Officials say two people have been shot and wounded on a high school campus in south Los Angeles County.
County Fire Department spokesman James Barnes says a 12-year-old girl and an 18-year-old man were both shot multiple times Friday night at Washington Preparatory High School in the Athens area.
Barnes says the two are hospitalized in critical condition.
Susan Cox, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Unified School District, says the shooting occurred in a parking lot outside the gymnasium at the end of a football game. She says the male victim was a student at the school last year.
Cox says one suspect was seen running east from the campus. No arrests have been made.
