NBC 4 reports that Los Angeles County Fire personnel confirmed one person hospitalized following the incident, but the condition of the individual was not reported.

On October 14, 2017, Gov. Jerry Brown (D) signed Democrat-sponsored AB 424 into law. That bill guaranteed that law-abiding teachers could not be armed to shoot back if under attack at school.
