SAN PEDRO (CBS) — San Pedro High School was placed on lockdown Wednesday after a bullet fired off campus ricocheted off a wall and hit a 15-year-old girl.
A female student was injured when a bullet fragment bounced off the pavement and hit her leg at around 2:45 p.m., according to Los Angeles police.
She was transported to a local hospital with a minor wound.
Authorities reportedly apprehended the suspected gunman near the school, located at 1001 West 15th Street, shortly after the shooting.
The approximately 3,400 students held during the campus-wide lockdown were allowed to leave at about 4 p.m.

To Adolfo:
Violence has nothing to do with illegals.
It’s a matter of self consciousness and education…good parenting and tons of common sense….Who is dumb enough to leave a gun in the house not properly locked or not even know what is going on with their kids. It is an American society issue. Educate yourself.
btw: I am a US citizen.

I agree with what you say but I know someone is going to blame illegals for this because if you read the posts, people always bring this up and it becomes a racial issue. Wait and see, someone will post a racist comment. It is just a matter of time.

It’s because legal or not.Educated or not.
It’s always brown or black.2/3 times.

I am sick and tired of WHITE RACIST FOLKS always ASSUMING that it’s the MEXICAN’S!!! Illegals are not ONLY MEXICAN!!! Get it straight Kelvin!!! Illegals come from all over the world. You are probably an illegal but don’t want to admit it! What happened today was probably a WHITE kid with no morals!

You’re right…illegal invaders do come from all over the world. With that being said, the majority of illegal invaders in this country come from Latin America, the substantial majority of which are from Mexico.
If Hispanic illegal invaders are not the majority of illegal invaders, they sure are the most militant and vocal in their demands for amnesty and other privileges not reserved for those who entered this country in violation of our immigration laws.
Stop making this issue about race. It’s about the rule of law! The only “racist” here would appear to be you with your La Raza attitude, as you conveniently interject race into the argument with your condemnation of “White people.”
I don’t see White gangs from Norway terrorizing our communities.

The KKK is the name and worst than that it is institutionalized racism embedded by the “european-American” still exist today…sorry to get off track but i had to say that so thomas is more informed…
May 25, 2011 at 7:01 pm
Save your information letsgetinformed. Deflecting back to a bygone era, which is no longer relevant to the discussion, is not “informing” anyone of anything. Using the KKK is a poor attempt to justify the lawless actions of millions of individuals who entered this country in violation of our immigration laws, most of which, happen to be Hispanic. Demanding this be stopped has nothing to do with racism, but rather the rule of law. People like you want to make it a racial issue because you have nothing else to argue in defense of your La Raza.
Look around, if the KKK were such a governing force, how come Whites are a minority of workers in almost every state agency, as well as most educational institutions across this state? Ditto for many other sectors across this country.
The KKK argument is nothing more than a default position used by the MEChA and La Raza types to defend their lawless actions.

whether the shooter was white, brown, black, yellow or extra-terrestrial isn’t the issue here ~ the issue is violence and the easy accessibility of weapons. hate is hate and violence is violence and ignorance is ignorance.
and speaking of ignorance, racism is also racism. i am pretty tired of people lumping all ‘whites’ into a giant, hateful group of idiots with some common playbook. we are not all tea baggers or racists or even the same race, believe it or not. if you want respect you need to offer it.

You politically correct types had best stop kidding yourselves. The vast majority of gang members are of mexican ancestry followed by blacks. Caucasians and asians account for a very small percent of street gangs. Why do we allow pseudo intellectual sociologists to justify gangs attributing socio-economic living conditions as a reason for justifying gangs.

really, racist!! Mexicans this, Mexicans that!!! Seriously?? theres violence EVERYWHERE.not just mexico.. look at El Salvador, Turn on the tv watch some dam news White men kill, white men rape, You should stop labeling only Mexicans as criminal gang menbers when you yourself recognize theres not a race with out a gang!! There should be no justification for gangs. Control your dam kids!! be good parents, maybe they have a chance!!

Some plain & simple, reality check.
Sinaloa Drug Cartel : Past US/Canada counterparts (from DOJ excerpts 2006) Mexican Mafia, Hells Angels Montreal, Italian Cosa Nostra, Triads in Vancouver & San Francisco, Vietnamese gangs in Long Beach Ca, Armenian Family in Hollywood, ca, Turkish Mafia New England, and the Aryan Brotherhood Texas.
2009 FBI operation nabs 400 Mexican Sinaloa Cartel members. US Citizens, 52. White, 13. Blacks, 2. Asians, 0. So 348 illegals out of 12 million illegal population in the US were working for the Cartel.
2011 BorderPatrol agents, Maricopa Co Deputies involved in drug smuggling ring for the Sinaloa Cartel.
Your average user of cocaine is 20=50 years of age… and male.
Data on 1 yr study:
Average White usage in 12 month period 5,153
Average Black usage in 12 month period 760
Average Hispanic usage in 12 month period 749
Average lifetime usage by race
White 30,402
Black 3,272
Hispanic 3507
Asian 407
FBI announces now over 1 million gang members nationwide. 45% Latino, 38% Black, 14% White, 3% Asian.

The 2 suspects of the Columbine High School Massacre, the deadliest high school shooting in US history were WHITE! So stop baming everything on every ethnic group besides white people!

dont you all get it by now??? Ethnicity is not the issue here. Those of you who are stuck in the race box need to think outside that box. Violence has nothing to do with race…as many have stated here. Those of you who tie race have other issues that need to be corrected…lets try to get along and figure out solutions to stop this madness and not stray from what is actually happening….or just be entertained by the media…:)

Actually, race has much to do with violence in our society. Please read the latest FBI statistics, which breaks down the commission of violent crimes based upon race. You might learn something. And BTW, our own government keeps this data and makes it available to anyone who cares to read it, so no use in screaming “racism!”

When the media fails in it’s reporting of all the facts people have a tendency to fill the void. Can’t stop creativity no matter which way you look at it.
