Katie Holt, a fine arts teacher, had pushed the piano in the
music room against the classroom door, two students in the room told Reuters afterward, and grabbed a
fire extinguisher, presumably to use as a weapon.
At 7:38 a.m., a high school student on his 16th birthday, whose name has not been released, opened fire outside Saugus High School in Santa Clarita, killing a 16-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy and wounding three other teens before
shooting himself in the head, officials said.
Students outside fled in panic, while those inside ran to safety in classrooms, as they had been repeatedly drilled to do.
