At Least 2 People Dead After Shooting At San Bernardino Elementary School

Two adults and one 8-year-old student were killed and another child wounded Monday in a shooting in an elementary school classroom in San Bernardino, California, in what is believed to be a murder-suicide, law enforcement officials said.

San Bernardino police confirmed that a male gunman, identified as 53-year-old Cedric Anderson, entered a North Park Elementary School special education classroom Monday morning and opened fire on a female teacher, identified as 53-year-old Karen Elaine Smith, his wife. Smith died from injuries sustained during the shooting and Anderson died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said.

The two students hit during the shooting were not targeted, police say, but were standing behind Smith when Anderson opened fire in the classroom.

San Bernardino police said late Monday that one of the children wounded during the shooting had died. The second child is in stable condition.

Police said that Smith and Anderson were married for several months, but were believed to be estranged. Anderson gained access to the classroom by saying he was there to drop something off to his wife, authorities said. Investigators have not determined a motive in the killing.

A second child was injured but in stable condition.
