LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Two students were wounded and a gunman was sought off-campus following a shooting before classes Tuesday in a high school parking lot, authorities said.
Police were seeking a man in a blue Mustang after the teens were wounded as they sat in a car in the parking lot at Western High School.
School police Sgt. Ken Young said gunfire was reported about 6:40 a.m. at the campus, which is about three miles west of downtown Las Vegas.
The injured teens were taken to University Medical Center with wounds that authorities said did not appear life-threatening.
The shooting followed an altercation between two male students and at least one other person at a convenience store a few blocks from the campus, authorities said.
Students arriving for the school day found the parking lot blocked off by police, but Clark County School District officials said classes were not immediately canceled.
The campus has an enrollment of 2,423 students.
