Two of the other five students who were shot in the Thursday morning attack at the school in Santa Clarita died of their wounds. All Hart District schools in Santa Clarita were closed on Friday, the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s office said on Twitter, out of respect for the victims and their families. At the Henry Mayo Hospital in Santa Clarita, authorities said a 14-year-old boy was treated and released. The scene at Saugus High School was reminiscent of other mass shootings at U.S. schools, including Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where a former student with an assault rifle killed 17 people on Feb. 14, 2018.
