Three Students Shot in Oregon School Shooting

 

Three students have been hospitalized in a school shooting in Portland-Oregon, yesterday, police have confirmed.
According to Daily Mail, Emergency services were scrambled to Rosemary Anderson High School in Portland, Oregon, at noon on Friday, Dec. 12th, after the attack on the street corner of the campus.
A 17-year-old student was shot in the back and another in the chest, according to Oregon Live.The third victim's condition has not been confirmed.
All three- two males and one female - are 'conscious and breathing', Fox12 reported.
More than one suspect is believed to have fled the premises in what local media suggests was a gang-related drive-by shooting.

The school in north Portland is an alternative high school for dropouts and other at-risk or homeless students.
Parents have been summoned to the school.
A nearby high school and community college were put on lockdown.
 


It is the second school shooting in Portland this year after a Reynolds High School freshman was shot and killed by a classmate in June.
The attack comes just two days before the two-year anniversary of the Sandy Hook shooting, when gunman Adam Lanza killed 20 children and six adults in New Newton Connecticut.
