The shooting occurred at 12:45 p.m. Wednesday local time at

The gunmen entered the school building to target specific

driver,' but 'we had calls that there could have been up to four,'

hospitalized, The San Francisco Chronicle reported.
Campus facilities will be closed indefinitely while the school
district repairs damage, both from the burst of gunfire and from
police breaking into rooms, district spokesperson John Sasaki
said.
