A 15-year-old Long Beach Poly High School student was hospitalized Thursday morning, Jan. 8, after he was shot in the lower body about two blocks from the campus, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Long Beach officers responded to a report of shots fired in the 1700 block of Long Beach Boulevard just before 8:25 a.m. and found evidence that a shooting had occurred, but no victims, police said.<\/p>\n
The boy arrived at the school, at 1600 Atlantic Ave., and \u201cimmediately received support and medical attention from staff,\u201d a Long Beach Unified School District spokesperson said. \u201cEmergency responders were contacted, the student\u2019s parents were notified\u201d and police were investigating the shooting.<\/p>\n
Police said the boy\u2019s injury was non-life threatening and he was taken by paramedics to a hospital. The suspect fled before officers arrived.<\/p>\n
The school was not placed under lockdown, but there was an increased presence of LBUSD School Safety staff on campus as a precaution, the district said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur thoughts are with the student and his family as they focus on recovery,\u201d the district said.<\/p>\n
