The King City Police Department released a photograph of a possible suspect fleeing the scene of a shooting of an 18-year-old male student outside of King City High School Tuesday morning.
The independent-study student suffered two non-life threatening gun shot wounds, according to a police press release.
Police are now looking for two suspects who approached the student's SUV just after 11am and opened fire. The student sped away and returned home. A relative rushed him to Mee Memorial Hospital where he was treated for his wounds.
The first suspect was described by a witness as wearing a blue shirt, or jacket and blue jeans. A second suspect was described to be wearing a dark blue shirt and blue basketball-style shorts.
Police initially responded to a report of shots fired in the 700 block of Broadway. They could find nothing there, but soon after discovered multiple spent casings and auto glass on Mildred Avenue, directly in front of the Robert Stanton theater, on school grounds.
After a witness told police that one suspect ran onto school grounds, officers immediately notified the school to lock down. The department also requested assistance from the Monterey County Sheriff's Department, the California Highway Patrol and the Greenfield Police.
While law enforcement officers were searching the school, the department was alerted to the victim at Mee Memorial Hospital.
