Shots fired on college campus
CAMARILLO “”mdash; A campus police officer shot a 17-year-old boy
after a struggle inside a dormitory at California State University,
Channel Islands.
Sunday’s 12:40 a.m. shooting at the student housing
complex came on the eve of the start of the semester. About 300
students live in the dorm, but only about half were there at the
time of the shooting, university spokeswoman Peggy Hinz said.
The wounded teenager, who isn’t a student, was taken to
St. John’s Regional Medical Center in Oxnard. He was placed
in custody at the hospital for investigation of assault with a
deadly weapon, said Capt. Chris Lathrop of the Ventura County
Sheriff’s Department.
The type of weapon wasn’t disclosed. The teenager, whose
name was not released, was shot in the stomach and is expected to
recover.
LAUSD ordered to post fire wardens in
school
The school district was ordered to post fire wardens at a new
high school in Northridge because the fire alarm system has been
malfunctioning since the school opened in September.
The city fire marshal’s office called for the fire watch
at the 500-student Valley New High School No. 1 ““ informally
known as CSUN High School ““ last week after it was disclosed
the principal and others have complained for months about the alarm
system.
School district building inspection reports show some fire doors
wouldn’t close and others lacked functioning panic bars.
