GLENDALE, Ariz. — Two students were shot and killed Friday at a high school in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale but the danger at the campus was over, police said, as worried parents crowded stores nearby to await word on their children.
Glendale officer Tracey Breeden said that both were 15-year-old girls and were shot once at Independence High School. Authorities were not searching for any suspects, and a weapon was found near the bodies, she said.
She did not say who fired the shots and had no information on the relationship between the girls, who died at the scene. They were found near an administration building.
She told parents awaiting word on their kids that "your children are safe."
No one can leave or enter the campus of more than 2,000 students until police ensure the school's safety and lift the lockdown, Glendale Union High School District said in a statement on its website.
