Authorities said multiple people were hurt in a shooting on Thursday morning at Saugus high school in Santa Clarita, a city 30 miles north of Los Angeles.

The Santa Clarita sheriff's department said "a male Asian suspect [in] black clothing" had not been apprehended and told people "anywhere near" Saugus high to lock themselves inside.

Saugus high school and other schools in the area including two elementary schools identified by authorities as Rosedell and Highland were locked down.

Television images showed sheriff's deputies swarming the school and several people being moved on gurneys. Lines of students were escorted away by armed deputies.

Los Angeles county fire department spokesman Christopher Thomas told the Associated Press it was not immediately clear if those injured suffered gunshot wounds or other injuries.

There were three confirmed injuries, he said, adding that initial accounts of at least six victims may have been because of duplicate reports.

The Santa Clarita sheriff said: "If you live in neighbourhoods anywhere near Saugus High, PLEASE LOCK DOORS and stay inside. If you see suspect, male dark clothing, in backyards, etc. CALL 911."

It also said Central Park on Bouquet Canyon was "being used as reunification point for parents" and said: "Parents, deputies are on scene everywhere protecting your children. Victims have been transported to hospital."

The Santa Clarita area was recently hit by a serious wildfire.

If you are facing 30-50 feral hogs, I can think of no better weapon.

Like the Swiss Army knife, the popular AR-15 rifle is a perfect combination of home defense weapon and homeland defense equipment. Good for both home and battle."

[Eddie Teach]

Right, the knife is pretty weak in battle.

The AR 15 would not be my first choice for home defense.

[grumbler]

Right, the knife is pretty weak in battle.

It's not just a knife, it's a Swiss Army knife!

The Swiss haven't lost a battle since they invented the knife.

bump.

The stuff about arming teachers is even more absurd and extraordinary given the reports of how the police behaved in Uvalde.

I think it was the WSJ who reported that put a parent in handcuffs and told her she was arrested for "interfering with an active investigation" when she was berating them for not going onto the scene.
