Taft Union School Shooting: California Politicians Speak Out On Today's Shooting
California politicians were quick to speak out about Thursday morning’s shooting at Taft Union High School in Kern County that sent two students to the hospital, one with a gunshot wound.
Sheriff’s officials said one student was shot in a science building and airlifted to a hospital in Bakersfield, about 40 miles northeast of the small town of Taft. Another student was taken to a hospital with a possible injury, said Kern County sheriff’s spokesman Ray Pruitt, although officials believe the student was not actually hit by gunfire.
The condition of the injured student was not immediately known.
The suspected gunman, also a student, was taken into custody, sheriff’s officials said. Pruitt said a shotgun had been recovered from the scene.
In a statement, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) called the shooting — which she said occurred at the school her father attended — “tragic.”
“At this moment, my thoughts and prayers are with the victims, and I wish them a speedy recovery,” the statement said. “But how many more shootings must there be in America before we come to the realization that guns and grievances do not belong together?”
Congressman Kevin McCarthy, the majority whip for the U.S. House of Representatives whose district includes Taft, tweeted about the shooting. McCarthy was expected to attend an afternoon news conference regarding the incident.
