Santa Clarita police received a call at 7:38 AM on 14 November of shooting in Saugus school in California and rushed to the spot within minutes. They found six students shot by a gun and took them to the hospital. A 16-year girl student and a 14-year boy student succumbed to the injuries, and four were hospitalized in a grave condition.

Capt. Kent Wegener – Los Angeles County Sheriff says

Capt. Kent Wegener, who immediately rushed to the spot, said that the police took prompt action and also identified the shooter among the victims. The shooting weapon, which is a 45 caliber semi-automatic pistol, was found in the school place where the six victims were lying in the pool of blood. The police found the gun empty with all the bullets pumped out to the students by the suspect who also shot himself.

The shooter is the resident of 229 hundred blocks of Sycamore Creek in Santa Clarita, and the police did a cursory search of any victim there but found none. Police are in the process of finding out what happened by interviewing the students on the crime scene. Many teams are working together in the suspect's house, hospital, school, surveillance camera checking, and many more.

FBI is also collaborating in searching for a self-owned video from anyone in the crime scene. The suspect's mother and girlfriend are now questioned in the Santa Clarita police station. Detectives are now in possession of a video that clearly shows how the suspect drew the pistol from his backpack and shoots the five students. There is no other suspect for the shooting so far. Also, it is clear from the video that he shoots himself to be in a grave situation in the hospital.
