OAKLAND — A student was shot at Skyline High School in the Oakland hills Wednesday afternoon and two juveniles were arrested, authorities said.
Police said a male student was shot by another male student, apparently in a bathroom. The suspected shooter was detained.
The student shot was taken to a hospital, where he was listed in stable condition as of Wednesday evening. A motive for the shooting has not been determined.
Police said they recovered two firearms.
The shooting was reported about 1:25 p.m. Wednesday at the school, which is at 12250 Skyline Blvd.
The campus was placed on lockdown while numerous police were on scene, authorities said.
In a statement, Mayor Barbara Lee said her “thoughts are with the students, families, and staff affected by today’s shooting at Skyline High School.”
“We are praying for the victims full and speedy recovery, and to his family, we send our strength and support,” said Lee, who added she’s in “close contact” with police investigators and was “grateful” for the quick response by officers, school staff and students. “Every child deserves to feel safe at school. Gun violence is a crisis we must address with unwavering urgency. We will continue working with law enforcement, community partners, and school officials to protect our children and ensure our schools remain sanctuaries of learning, not scenes of violence like today.”
The school was the site of another shooting in May of last year following the end of graduation ceremonies. Three adults were wounded after a dispute of some kind broke out among others who had attended the ceremony. None of their wounds were life threatening.
And on Sept. 26 of this year the school was placed on a two-hour lockdown while police investigated what turned out to be an unsubstantiated report that a student had brought a gun onto campus.
