Two boys and a girl were rushed to hospitals in critical condition, one by a rescue helicopter that landed on a school field, authorities said.

The shooting reportedly took place on the sidewalk across from the school, near the intersection of Ventura Boulevard and Winnetka Avenue. The intersection has been closed for the investigation.

2. What high school is that?

I worked in the SanFernando Valley for more than 20 years. The LA ara will alway be home, even though I am far away.

I have a friend who goes there. I hope everyone makes it through okay!

I actually thought school shootings were over. I guess not. *shakes head* Why do people do the things they do?

*edit* I guess this doesn't "qualify" the same as many other school shootings, but seeing as it involved a group of students right by their school, I think it's all right to title it as such.

6. I don't get it

Why does CA still allow their people to own guns with all the killing that is caused by guns? Now is the time to eliminate guns while we have the three houses under control. What are we waiting for?
