Two students were shot in a classroom in Salvador Castro Middle School in Westlake on Thursday morning, and one is in critical condition, authorities said.

Police received a report of shots fired about 8:55 a.m. in the 1500 block of West 2nd Street, according to LAPD Officer Drake Madison.

The victims were described as a 15-year-old male, who is in critical condition, and a 15-year-old female, who was reported in fair condition.

Fuck the NRA!

BTW we averaging a mass shooting* once every 2 to 3 days in America.

* “A mass shooting involves four or more people injured or killed in a single event at the same time and location.”

It's too soon to discuss gun safety, 2nd amendment & all that BS

The next shooting is right around the corner, so it will ALWAYS be too soon

Sarah Smirkleberry will be voicing sympathies for the families from the Dotard.

He's too busy watching Fox news and playing with his phone to be bothered with "fake news" like this.
