SANTA CLARITA, California - Investigators on Friday said they had not identified a motive for the 16-year-old student who they say pulled a handgun from his backpack at school and shot five of his classmates, killing two, in Santa Clarita, California, before turning the gun on himself.
The police say he had walked into the quad of Saugus High School just after 7.30am on Thursday, his birthday, before firing seemingly at random for 16 seconds. Dozens took refuge in a choir classroom, which the teacher barricaded with a grand piano before tending to a student's gunshot wounds. Santa Clarita is home to many police officers, firefighters and emergency workers, and the first three police officers to respond to the shooting were off-duty officers who had dropped family members off at the school.
