Two women injured in shooting at California college
A gunman opened fire at the Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology in the Los Angeles suburb of Inglewood, California on Friday, injuring at least two people, officials have said. According to police, the suspect remains at large.
Inglewood Mayor James Butts told CBS News Los Angeles that the victims are believed to be female staffers at the college. Police are currently searching the campus for additional victims.
According to the mayor, the shooting happened in an office at the school, and the suspect is believed to be a former employee. He said the attack was likely a workplace-related incident.
“Situations like this are very jarring for a community because it promotes a sense of randomness and threatens safety,” Butts said. “We’re doing everything we can to identify, locate the suspect and bring justice for the victims.”
Inglewood Police Chief Neal Cochran said the suspect appears to be a security guard who worked at the college for five years.
The incident came two weeks after a student opened fire on the campus of Florida State University, killing two people and injuring six others.
