Two teenage girls found shot dead at school in Phoenix suburb

.

Two teenage girls were killed Friday in a shooting at a high school in Arizona, police said, adding they believe the tragedy was an “isolated incident." Officer Tracey Breeden of the Glendale Police Department identified the two victims as 15-year-old girls who were found next to each other with a weapon nearby. Breeden told a news conference that each had suffered a gunshot wound. Breeden said it was unclear what prompted the shooting, which took place shortly before 8 a.m. at Independence High School, with police arriving on the scene within minutes.
I never thought it would happen here. This tells me that it could happen anywhere, at any school, even if it’s a good school.

One student says she was shocked to learn that two teens had died in a shooting at her suburban Phoenix high school. Lanie Walter, a senior, said Friday that the shooting was heartbreaking because "everyone is so loving” at Independence High School. She says she heard ambulances on her way to the campus in Glendale but didn’t think much of it until her first class went on lockdown. She called her parents to tell them she was OK and said her mother was relieved because she had been watching the news.
