A female student was taken into custody after two pupils were shot and wounded, one critically, inside a Los Angeles school classroom, authorities said. A girl aged 15 with a gunshot wound to the wrist was taken to a hospital in a “fair” condition, he said. Police arrested the female pupil and recovered a gun after the shooting, which happened just before 9am at Salvador B. Castro Middle School, west of the city centre. “We will attend to the needs of these students who witnessed this very carefully, with the understanding this is very traumatic,” Zipperman said. “We have our school mental health folks that are here to support the needs of the students.” - PA
