Schools have done drills like this since 2015 and 2016. 95 . A lot of discussion about whats that doing for Mental Health. After all, schools, despite whats happening, schools are still one of the safer places out there for children. Still this is awful, and it sound like the kids knew what to do once this started. Ali and stephanie, thank you so much. Were going to continue on with this. Its 2 00 p. M. In the east, 11 00 a. M. In california. One student is dead and multiple others are injured after a shooting at a Santa Clarita high school today. Were waiting on two News Conferences scheduled to happen at any moment. One from the l. A. County Sheriffs Office. The other from the hospital where the victims were taken. Here is what we know so far. The l. A. County sheriff says the suspect survived a selfinflicted Gunshot Wound after he fled to a nearby home. The sheriff also says that the suspect is a Young Asian Male who was a student at Saugus High School and is now in police custody.
we have department of mental health has support teams on site right now working with the students, as well as the family members. as you can imagine, the impact this is going to have not only on the school but on this community is tremendous. the department of meant mental health stands ready to support the community. i want to thank machinpeople fog here, the state, local, federal officials here working together. many are asking why. that will come with time. back up right now, our focus is on supporting the community. and you heard chief osbey say that many of the sheriffs and fire officials that work here live here and either have children that attended the school or attend the school. so this has hit very, very, very close to home. my heart aches, but i stand ready to support this community and lead and make sure that we provide the resources necessary to help. thank you.
