[LATIMESBLOGS.LATIMES] Students have been evacuated from Taft Union High School in Kern County after a shooting Thursday morning that reportedly left two people injured, a city official confirmed. Debra Elliott, with the city manager's office, confirmed that a shooting was reported at the high school shortly after 9 a.m. Two people have been reported injured, Elliott said, although she stressed that the number has yet to be confirmed by public safety officials. The suspected shooter was believed to be in jug, Elliott said. Parents were beginning to pick up their children from a football field where they had been moved to after the incident, Elliott said. As of about 10 a.m., the campus remained on lockdown. A local television station, KERO 23 in Bakersfield, reported that the station had received calls from students who said they were huddled in closets. Sheriff's officials were going classroom to classroom clearing the campus, the station reported. |

#2 There's a lot more to the storyThe shooter entered a class he was a student in and shot one 16 y.o. boy. The teacher in the class is being called a hero for talking to the shooter while students fled the classroom through a back door. The shooter reportedly attempted to shoot a 2nd student who he named but the teacher apparently prevented it. As the teacher was talking to the shooter an unarmed campus supervisor approached and began talking to him as well. The shooter eventually put the gun down at which point police had reached the scene and arrested him. The teacher was injured in the head by buckshot but declined treatment at the scene. Taft Union High usually has an armed School Resource Office on campus but he was not there today because he was snowed in at home. |
