Deputies are looking for a suspect described as an Asian male in black clothing, the department said on Twitter.
The suspect is believed to be a student at the school, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva told CNN affiliate KABC.

It's a high school, ffs! What's wrong with kids these days!

How did he even get hold of a gun?

 

[Florida Man]

I predict gun sales going up again.

 

[RedPed]

Time to pull out those armour-plated kiddie backpacks again.

Gunman now believed to be dead.

Edit: Not dead but now being treated in hospital.

It's not that difficult to get a gun here, legally or not.

Hearing it was an asian this time.

Hearing it was an asian this time.

cue Donald Trump being racist

For a high school kid?

Nah, the kid was Asian. It will be the fault of immigrants etc., etc.

Thoughts and prayers for those that need medical attention

Ah gotcha.

Trump may well make it a racist thing, but at least you got in before him.

 

[Florida Man]

For a high school kid?

Could be a parent's gun, a relative's gun, a friend's gun.

Could use the gun show loophole if he has enough money and knows a gun fanatic with a concealed carry permit.

Could be a legal adult at 18 and eligible to buy one outright.

 

[Drifter]

One life taken according to CNN

Just stating the obvious.

Who said it's a high school kid?

Just asking

 

[Wibble]

Who said it's a high school kid?

Just asking

Law enforcement did.

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

It's not that difficult to get a gun here, legally or not.

Probably not legally as California has some the strictest gun control legislation in the US.

 

[rcoobc]

Law enforcement did.

Fair enough

 

[Rado_N]

Probably not legally as California has some the strictest gun control legislation in the US.

Problem is there’s no such thing as state border checks.

 

[Wibble]

2 dead, 4 injured. Shooter in grave condition with self inflicted gunshot wound.

They get guns legally in Arizona and drive across. They care more about you trying to bring in fruit to California from other states than asking you about guns

That’s a small factor when other states are more lenient. The restrictions would have to be the same everywhere.

 

[nimic]

Apparently the shooter's birthday.

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

RIP to the departed.

I'm going to guess beta male/incel/4chan type.

Killing yourself and other people on your birthday, this screams of bullying.

True, but isn't that a long drive for Californians?

As above, assuming people from the coast don't want to do a five or six hour round trip for that. Granted, you can't predict what people like this will do.

Yeah that could be a possibility but it also feels like a loner to me and obviously had to be egged on by internet to do it. If it is the case, the 4chan screenshots must have been doing the rounds on twitter or reddit by now.

 

[utdalltheway]

This morning, I got text from a buddy back east asking if my kids were ok.
An unusual question, until it dawned on me that must have heard something on the news.

It scared the hell out of me for about 30 seconds until I found out that he was referring to this incident in Santa Clarita, about 50 miles away.

 

[VeevaVee]

That doing this kind of thing would even cross your mind when being bullied is just madness. Even more so that it's possible.

 

[Florida Man]

People drive for longer hours just to get hardcore fireworks. They’ll drive for a gun if they really want to.

 

[Dargonk]

Its a sad state of affairs, when I open these type of threads just t see how many killed this time. I really don't understand why action never actually comes from these type of events.

 

[oneniltothearsenal]

True, but isn't that a long drive for Californians?

Nah, its shorter than my friend's daily commute through traffic (actually true if you add up time for there in morning and back in evening)

 

[TheReligion]

Apparently the shooter's birthday.

Did he take doing shots to celebrate literally?

 

[Lj82]

I've only stayed in California for two months, but in that two months there are already two shootings here. One to my north and one to my south. Sigh.

 

[utdalltheway]

Tbf, California has over 35m people so you’re bound to get a few nutters.
As states go, it’s one of the better ones, despite the shitty traffic and high cost.

 

[utdalltheway]

(Well, leaving out Fresno, the dump.)
Another shooting today, at some backyard party in Fresno.
