Police believe the suspects drove away in two cars and officers believe the suspects and victims know each other. The LAPD advises drivers to avoid the area because of heavy traffic and street closures as the investigation continues. 

"We must work together to continue to provide safe passaged to and from school," Carvalho tweeted. "Law enforcement is currently investigating this incident, and we are working with the school to ensure our campus remains safe."

Counselors will be available at the campus for anyone that needs their assistance tomorrow.
