Three off-duty officers were the first to arrive at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita after a shooting. One rushed back after dropping off his kid.
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. – As gunshots at Saugus High School sent frightened students fleeing the building, a detective and two off-duty officers who were dropping off their own kids ran toward the sound of gunfire, providing life-saving first aid to the victims, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said.
“These are historic young adults,” said Dr. Boris Borazjani. “They held their composure despite being shot, and being shot in the torso is a big deal.”Doctors said that the victims were also working through the “profound psychological effect” of the incident and would receive support and counseling from professionals at the hospital.
"Off-duty first responders were there and did not hesitate, turned around and went right into the source of the gunfire to attempt to neutralize it, and they rendered first aid immediately," he said. He was joined by Officer Sean Yanez from the Inglewood Police Department and Officer Gus Ramirez from Los Angeles Police Department.
