LOS ANGELES, 11 April (BelTA - Xinhua) - A female teacher and an eight-year-old boy were killed Monday morning after the teacher's husband opened fire before taking his own life inside a special needs classroom at an elementary school in San Bernardino, Southern California.
The gunfire was reported at 10:27 a.m. local time (1827 GMT) in North Park Elementary School in San Bernardino, according to San Bernardino Police Department.
One of the students, identified as eight-year-old child Jonathan Martinez, was taken via helicopter to Loma Linda University Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead. The other injured, a nine-year-old student, remains hospitalized in stable condition, police said.
Students in the school were evacuated after the incident. "All kids have been taken to California State University San Bernardino," Burguan tweeted.
