PALMDALE, Calif. (AP) — Officials say a 14-year-old high school student has been taken into custody after shooting a classmate at their high school in the California city of Palmdale.

Los Angeles County sheriff’s Capt. Darran Harris tells KTTV Friday that the student was taken into custody and a gun was recovered at the scene.

The shooting happened at Highland High School in the high desert Antelope Valley north of Los Angeles

He says one student was shot in the arm and the shooting stemmed from a dispute between the shooter and the victim. He didn’t elaborate. The injured student is expected to make a full recovery.

Harris says the school is safe but remains on lockdown as officials worked to reunite students with their parents.

  1. Another proud moment brought to you by the NRA.

  2. I see the breaking news and wonder if shootings are at schools where my son teaches, his wife teaches, my granddaughter teaches, or my two grandchildren go to high school. The new America.

  3. Deputy Charles Moore says there is no confirmation of an actual person with a gun or any shooting.

    This will surely disappoint the NRA. Gun manufacturer stock values climb, as do gun sales, after every massacre.
