\"California\"International desk: Two adults and a child have been killed in a shooting in a classroom of a primary school in San Bernardino, California, police say.<\/p>\n

The suspect shot and killed his estranged wife, a teacher, and wounded two children who were behind her, one of whom died of his wounds.<\/p>\n

He then turned the gun on himself, police said.<\/p>\n

Police chief Jarrod Burguan described the incident as a suspected “murder-suicide” attempt.<\/p>\n

The shooting happened at 10:30 local time (17:30 GMT) at North Park Elementary School in San Bernardino county, 60 miles (96km) east of Los Angeles.The gunman, named as 53-year-old Cedric Anderson, had gained entry to the school as a visitor and kept his weapon concealed until he opened fire in the classroom where 15 children with special needs were being taught, authorities said.<\/p>\n

He killed his wife Karen Elaine Smith and fatally wounded eight-year-old Jonathan Martinez, who was airlifted to hospital but later died.<\/p>\n

A nine-year-old pupil remains in hospital in a stable condition, the Los Angeles Times reported.<\/p>\n

Mr Burguan tweeted shortly after the incident that the suspect was “down” and there was “no further threat”. The school was immediately evacuated.<\/p>\n

Up to 600 students were transferred by bus to nearby Cajon High School, where they were later met by their parents.<\/p>\n

“Police operations are continuing to secure the area,” Mr Burguan said earlier on Twitter, adding: “However, we do believe the threat is down.”In December 2015, 14 people were killed and 21 others wounded when a couple entered a disabled service centre in San Bernardino and began firing at a group of county health workers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
