BREAKING: Multiple Deaths Reported In High School Shooting
Two teenagers were shot Friday at an Arizona high school and at least one of them is dead. One media account said both victims are female.
The shootings took place at Independent High School in Glendale, Ariz. about 10 miles northwest of Phoenix. KNXV reported Friday that the incident took place at 8 a.m. local time in a patio area of the school’s campus. KNXV video taken from the air showed police and fire crews surrounding what appeared to be one of the shooting victims.
Officials said there was no active shooter, and that other students were not in danger, although the school was reported on lockdown. Police said they are not looking for a suspect in the shootings.
“Your children are safe and this is not a dangerous situation,” Glendale police spokeswoman Tracey Breeden said. Traffic has been closed off in the area around the school. Parents of students at the school have been asked to wait at a nearby Walmart until police clear the scene of the shooting.
Breeden said the people involved in the shooting were teens but could not say if they were students at the 2,000-student high school.
Glendale Mayor tweeted:
Our hearts go out to everyone at Independence High School this morning. We are standing by for information.
