Two teenagers been shot in what police said was an “isolated incident” at a high school in Arizona. Two teenage girls been shot in what police said was an “isolated incident” at a high school in Arizona.
Police confirmed that the Independence High School in the city of Glendale had been placed on lock-down. The 15-year-old girls were shot once at Independence High School, but it was not clear what led up to their deaths, Glendale Officer Tracey Breeden told reporters. Authorities were not looking for anyone else, and a gun was found near the bodies, she said.
A Glendale police spokesperson confirmed that two people teenagers had been shot on campus, but did not confirm if they were students or their genders, local media said. The Associated Press said that the circumstances suggested the possibility of a murder-suicide or double-suicide, but Ms Breeden said no determination had been made. She had no information on the relationship between the girls, who died at the scene and were found near an administration building.
Air15 video showed several police and fire crews at the school surrounding what appeared to be a victim on campus. Police arrived within two minutes of being called, and the school of more than 2,000 students went on lockdown, police said.
The spokesperson said investigators believed this to be an “isolated incident” and wanted to reassure parents that “your children are safe.”  Hundreds of worried parents soon began arriving at nearby discount and convenience stores. Ms Breeden told parents awaiting for word about their youngsters that “your children are safe”.
Police said this is not an active shooter situation and that they were not necessarily looking for a suspect. Cheryl Rice said she went to a store after a friend called about the shooting and asked after her daughter. But the girl called as Ms Rice arrived at the store.
“You don’t know if it’s your daughter or not. You don’t know who’s being bullied. You don’t know who is being picked on. You don’t know anything. It could be anybody,” she said.
