| At Least Two Injured in Taft High School Firing |
Students had been
evacuated immediately from Taft Union High School in Kern County after
wild gun firing on Thursday morning that reportedly left two people
injured while a suspect was
taken into custody, a city official
confirmed.
According to details; the shooting incident
happened about 9:00 a.m. at Taft Union High School, an oil and agricultural
community about 120 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
Among the victims there’s at least one student who was airlifted to a hospital in Bakersfield, but there was no immediate
word on the victim’s condition.
‘‘We have a suspect in custody,’’ said Ray
Pruitt, spokesman for the Kern County Sheriff’s Department, adding that
the person was believed to be a student.
KERO-TV Bakersfield reported that the station received phone calls
from people inside the school who hid in closets.
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.
It was not immediately clear how many students are enrolled at the
high school, which teaches 9th through 12th grades.
