One person was killed and at least four others were injured in a shooting at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita on Thursday morning, authorities said.

The shooting was reported at the campus at 21900 Centurion Way about 7:40 a.m., prompting a massive law enforcement response. Paramedics swarmed the campus, treating the wounded while authorities combed nearby neighborhoods searching for a 15-year-old boy suspected in the shooting. Agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department SWAT team also assisted with the search.

After roughly an hour, authorities said that the suspect, who is believed to be a student at the school, had been apprehended. The teen, who was not immediately identified, is being treated at a hospital and is in unknown condition, Sheriff Alex Villanueva said.

Also, one person dies/handful are shot in a school shooting within a (upper) middle class neighborhood, everybody freaks out. 4 people get murdered in a Chicago slum every weekend and the media passes that off as collateral damage. The hypocrisy and agenda trolling speaks "loud and clear".

[Hoffer Rand]

They do this type of thing all the time. A couple elections ago, the ubiquitous T&A on the scene reporter interviewed a woman who had just voted. She kept going on and on about the dem candidate and all his qualifications, etc. Turns out, she was his mother. Nobody identified her during the interview as anything other than a voter. So pathetic.

I’m afraid our sick society is indeed so sick that yes, people really do “go mad” or just plain act on their emotions which LIBERALS have been ENABLING for decades.

I can't imagine that anything inflicts more psychological damage on a young person than introducing uncertainty as to what gender they are when they're toddlers. Knowing that you are either male or female is an absolute bedrock of constructing your future identity. Blow that away before it's formed and all else never stabilizes.

So why isn’t Chicago wall-to-wall coverage every weekend?

Asian kid with a 45 hand gun. Does not fit narrative. Story will die quickly.

[rollo tomasi]

You do know this overkill is listed as triggering events to other would-be shooters. They get off at the sensationalism.

[rollo tomasi]

How does a contained school shooting isolated in a REGIONAL area affect the nation as a whole? Please answer this one at least.

Apperently no one cares about those kinds of shootings.

Is there a connection here?

I remember thinking, 50 or 60 years ago, how alien this seemed. Incomprehensible to an American.

If it is used to further the agenda of the anti-2nd amendment forces it does affect the nation as a whole.

Our youth are being conditioned by LIBERALS and DEMOCRATS to feel doomed in this life. Climate Change is killing the world. The United States is Evil. Our President is Stalin, Hitler, and Satan rolled into one. On and on.

My wife is a nurse in a school district where a 7th grade girls tried to hang herself in a school bathroom this week.

I despise Liberals, Socialists, and Democrats. They are a cancer in this great country.

[right way right]

Because everyone knows that all of the opportunistic ruling class is ready to pounce on reasons to empower themselves as gods.

And, if it bleeds, it leads.

Satan is very opportunistic.

Agreed, but I am NOT talking about regular thug shootings with incidental victims. Hence why I state TRUE mass murders. I still think they are UP, at least as far as frequency. # of events, not just “actual killed” which could be extremely unfortunate or lucky, all chance, so isn’t very informative.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Well, why report on hurricane damage? How does the CA earthquake or those fires affect me 3000 mi away?

Geesh.

Same high school where they filmed the 1990 Christian Slater film “Pump Up The Volume.”

FNC is this minute reporting the shooter shot himself in the head and is in grave condition. Police don’t know of a motive or how he got the gun. Another in a long list of shooters dying before telling the why.

[o-n-money]

Why is this a story? It’s a Chicago daily event.

[LouieFisk]

I understand, I was just clarifying there.

I do think there is some validity to the point someone brought up about the regional aspect, though. 50 years ago we didn’t have 100 people instantly tweeting every time someone killed someone else in East Armpit Township - whether it was in a school, a bar, at home, wherever.

Doesn’t explain it all, but people just weren’t as instantly aware of every violent instance wherever it happened back in the day. Maybe that’s part of the reason folks tend to see such days as a more pleasant time. They weren’t burdened with all the troubles in every tiny corner of the world and had there hands full with just their local problems.

If they would have taught him how to read he would have known the school was a no gun zone.
