Law enforcement officers were responding on Thursday morning to a reported shooting at a high school in Santa Clarita, Calif., the authorities said.
The Associated Press, citing Los Angeles County authorities, said six injuries were reported, and local television stations showed people being loaded into ambulances.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department urged people to avoid the area and tweeted that a male suspect in black clothing was last seen at the location.

My Spanish is horrible. Does Santa Clarita mean: "Clear Santa"...?

Named after the at-the-time landowner, Newhall from Saugus, MA.. Saugus, CA, and Newhall, CA combined into Santa Clarita. NASCAR had a small track there.

Useless trivia for 100, Alex.

ETA: Everything you could want to know about naming Newhall-Saugus Valley
Because Valencia was already taken.

Why 'Santa Clarita'?
By RUTH WALDO NEWHALL, Gazette Correspondent.
Old Town Newhall Gazette, February-March 1997.

The Story Of How The Santa Clarita Valley Got Its Name — And Who Made It Stick.

Dan Hon, the Chamber's president, accepted the assignment of calling on the editor of The Signal.
It was no mean assignment. Scott Newhall, given to rambunctious overstatement, had expressed himself unequivocally in favor of "Valencia Valley," implying that any person who held other views was not quite right in the head.

It was with this background that attorney Hon went to see Newhall in the Signal office. Both were relatively new to the area, and they found, to mutual surprise, that they liked each other.

The following day The Mighty Signal — as Newhall referred to it — came out with its articles of surrender. Hon won the day with "Santa Clarita Valley."

The name appeared in stories and headlines, crept onto maps and signs, and eventually onto the ballot for cityhood.

And that's how it happened that this long-nameless valley is nameless no more.

Clarita as a name for girls is of Latin derivation, and the meaning of the name Clarita is "bright, famous". Clarita is a variant form of Claire (Latin): So maybe "Famous Saint"? Now back to our regularly scheduled program.
 
Since I know a teacher who taught there, some background...it is a big school, with a student body close to 2000. It is a large campus with several separate buildings....and it had armed security. That sort of deflates our 'soft target' argument a bit.

What we don't know is which way the security went when the shooting started.

She said her friend who still teaches there was 'locked in a room with Sheriff's deputies'
 
The injured number went from 6 to 5 and then 3. What is the real story here? 15 year old Asian dressed in black and is this a random shooting? Could this be Asian gang related? If this doesn't fit the narrative and he didn't use a AR or AK the Main Stream Media will drop this like a hot rock.

uh oh, if it's less four or more, it's no longer mass shooting by FBI standards.

you do realize that all they need to classify it as a "school shooting" is that one shot was fired. Doesn't even need to hit anyone. Bullet into a tree or the ground and it is still a "school shooting" to be counted by every liberal media outlet...
 
they are saying he "is no longer a threat"...probably lying on the ground in a pool of his own blood right now

Update: they now say he is injured and being treated at a hospital

Only if "my friend was wearing a seatbelt but still got killed in a car accident" deflates "seat belts save lives"

So, they were as helpful as a wet noodle. Isn't this the sort of shit that is supposed to justify their "superior training"?
