INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Two women were shot on the campus of a Southern California technical college Friday and taken to the hospital, authorities said.

Mayor James Butts of Inglewood said the shooting occurred around 4 p.m. on the Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology Campus.

Speaking on KABC-TV, Butts said the suspect was at still large. Authorities did not believe the suspect was still on campus but conducted a room-to-room search, according to the mayor.

The shooting occurred in an office at the school and officials believe it to be a workplace violence incident, according to Butts. The two women are employees of the school, and the suspect is believed to be a former employee, he said.

One of the gunshot victims was in critical condition, he said. The Los Angeles County Fire Department confirmed on the social platform X that two people were taken to the hospital.
