[The Northerner]

Two Gardena High School students have been arrested for allegedly aiding a classmate who brought a gun to school on Tuesday that discharged, injuring two, police say.

The two students allegedly helped the classmate hide after the gun accidentally went off in a classroom, according to a law-enforcement source. The 17-year-old who brought the gun to school hid for about an hour after the gun discharged. He was then taken into custody. The source said those arrested were 15 and 16 years old.

Tim Anderson, deputy chief of the Los Angeles School Police Department, confirmed the arrests but would not provide details.

Incoming LAUSD Supt. John Deasy said earlier that Garden High School had violated school-district policy because it did not conduct random weapons searches every day.

1. Have they determined

the caliber of the weapon? If the bullet didn't penetrate the skull of the girl suffering the head wound, I suspect that the weapon is low caliber, possibly a 22.
