Police were responding to a report that a Los Angeles Unified School District police officer was wounded at a shooting near El Camino Real High School in Woodland Hills.

The shooting occurred around 11:45 a.m. on the campus at Valley Circle and Burbank boulevards.

Live video footage from KTLA News showed dozens of police officers searching the area around the school and an ambulance apparently carrying the officer leaving the scene.

LAPD Chief Charlie Beck now at the scene..

“Get out another damn memo. This is a GUN FREE ZONE !!!!”

[Beaten Valve]

9 area schools now on lockdown...

LAPD Cheif Beck: 350 people are on the scene — LAPD, sheriff’s dept, CHP, etc.

[Redcloak]

I guess the perp didn’t get the last memo.

Police are even covering portions of the LA River just in case the perp tries to “float” away.

LAPD has also taken a suspect to the hospital to see if the injured officer can ID him as the shooter...

Good, the giant ants will likely get him.

EVERETT, WA) -- 1/19/2011. A shooting in Everett resulted in 5 schools being locked down for a short time during the noon hour Wednesday while police searched for suspects.

Uh oh.....The liberal infested disaster and Godless, socialist disease has reached Everett Washington!

It's spreading fast!

“Which is funny, because we are cops.”

Is it just me, or did that LAPD detective look like Ozzy Osborne?

PEOPLE who are assuming this happened in a gang or urban area, this is one of the absolute top academic high schools in L.A. They win the National Academic Decathalon (or whatever it’s called) very often.

This neighborhood is full of $1,000,000+ homes and it a VERY nice area, very suburban. Anyone would feel very safe there. There are no gangs there.

Just to let you know how kind of shocking this shooting is.

7,000 students at 9 schools currently on “lockdown”...

[Churchillspirit]

Hmm...sure seems like a nice area.

Wonder why the officer was wearing a vest? (Thank God he was)

[Yaelle]

Yes, I am so glad he was wearing his vest. He’d be dead otherwise.

[Beaten Valve]

It’s a tricky job for police to allow the students to be released from the school while the gunman is still on the loose.

Many residents still cannot get in to their homes...

****************

It is a nice enough area but there is crime everywhere around L.A.

The shooter in this case was trying to break into cars near the high school and was approached by the officer — shooter is still, as of now, on the loose. Hundreds of officers were deployed to the area and numerous nearby schools are still on lockdown while they hunt for the shooter and go door to door in neighborhoods.

The shooter is thought to be a white guy with long hair.

[Redcloak]

Traffic in the area is a mess. Multiple off-ramps on the 101 are blocked as are numerous surface streets. I had to use every short cut I know to get through just now! And to top it off, the shooter’s probably three states away by now.

LA and SF are liberal infested disasters...and what is heading our way if we don’t stop this Godless, socialist disease

You're in Ohio right?

Ohio: Mother-of-two deputy sheriff, shot dead in Ohio trailer park gun battle, her partner wounded last two weeks ago....

Should we consider Ohio to be a liberal infested disaster...which is heading our way if we don’t stop this Godless, socialist disease from Ohio?

Where'd ya go buddy?

Hey, did I mention Charlie Manson is from Ohio and Ohio major cities have higher crime rates than LA and SF? Get a load at these major crime rates...

If ya wanna keep getting dumped on, keep talking sh*t.
