Saugus High School Shooting, Santa Clarita Emergency Response
A shooting occurred at Saugus High School in Santa Clarita, California, on November 14, 2019. The perpetrator used a .45 caliber revolver to shoot five students before turning the weapon on himself in a sequence lasting only 16 seconds. Local emergency response involved a massive deployment of LA County Fire Department personnel wearing bulletproof vests and multiple law enforcement agencies, leading to questions regarding the scale of the response relative to the duration of the event.

Capital of the drone star state in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where no shooting today... I'm John C DeVore Oh is this your breaking news? Hey we do- No shooting today Yeah that was a weird one
00:41 Opinion neck of the woods seeing as we don't have all the normal information. We don't uh, We don't know this shooters name. We have no man Oh they do have the shooters name. Yeah that's been reviewed I was yesterday oh Okay, I just thought the coverage was different maybe less coverage was weird and i'll tell you why I've some clips Oh wait before you start? I want to tease something I have a review today of possibly the best OTG phone yet. Oh, jeez! You're turning into The Phone Review Show? Are you going to do an unboxing?! I'm perplexed at your response... We are helping people with their mental sanity
01:32 And he was like, look they've got a connector at the bottom. Well you're going to participate like a good doobie because this is very important we have a phone that finally solves your problems Solves nothing Alright I'm sorry i shouldn't have interrupted your flow Because everyone's gonna be on pins and needles That's fabulous tease the art of the teas my friend. That's how it goes All right, we reset good gee tell me about the shooting Okay, so there is this shooting? So I wake up it's about nine o'clock
02:13 And I wake up and there's all this reporting going on live coverage of this chasing around town as choppers They're going from house to house a bunch of SWAT teams come out, and they're surrounding somebody's house They say it might be the kids and then they go surround a neighbor's house. You see you seeing all this happen? This is out of your window no no just okay, oh okay alright good And it's all they said, because I'm not around there. This is the local coverage but they have it streaming so I'm watching all of it and this about 9 o'clock 10 o'clock goes on to about let 10 30 11 But meanwhile the incident took place at 730 before slightly before school that took place outside you know of the class where there are gun detectors and things I suppose maybe maybe not
03:03 But what happened was this kid brought a 45 and it had apparently was a six shooter. No, a revolver Gee, it's not automatic and not scary looking we can't ban it What are we gonna do? Yeah, that's careless And somebody mentioned he took very careful account So he shoots off five rounds into five nearby kids and then she wants himself in the head Mm-hmm now this all happens right at the beginning Right So we have five kids shot and a guy who shot himself in the head. Hours later, they're looking for this guy
03:41 By running around town and I'm meanwhile the reports are all written up, and they're on Twitter Here's what we know the gunman shot himself right in a five people are in the hospital And he's in the hospital where he later died and then now there's been coverage after that was oh Oh, where's this manifesto manifesto? We can't find it manifest. No. I know I was so disappointed. I want to manifest. Oh It's like now everyone has to have a manifesto. I guess it is wait, isn't this kid wasn't white? I think wasn't that the big problem they were looking for a white guy? You saw pictures of him kind of not wide enough
04:22 Mean he could pass for white. Maybe it looks like a little Japanese It was hard to say but there's but if most of the kids are said as a mixed-race school So it's not a big deal, so that's bullcrap and there's no evidence of any of that I think just drugs But nobody wants to talk about well No That's the first question is was the kid on any type of antidepressants or other psychotropic drugs question number one Who goes to Zephyr by the way? Yeah, yeah you're right how many cars all right now so let's don't forget now we've got all the information the kids shot himself He's there. Yeah and they were hauling it they hold him into the hospital So why are they running around town? So there's something else going on. So let's let's start with the
05:12 shooting first reports. And we're actually seeing something unfolding right now, we have fire department personnel with bulletproof vests and helmets on that's something I've never actually seen here in Santa Creta before but they have their bulletproof vests that say LA County Fire Department on the back of them so you're saying fire department...you're talking about rescue personnel are also wearing bulletproof vests and helmets? Yes It's very unusual. I thought that was actually a police officer, but it is not. That person has the trademark yellow radio of the fire department personnel typically carries but they're also their best is marked LA County Fire Department. But right now I'm looking from the ground and in front of the forum at the newer building on campus, it's the Performing Arts Center so I am just to the southeast of that building and we are seeing several parents who
05:59 We're able to make their way in here on the grass field just embracing each other. Moms embracing each other, fathers embracing the moms they have their small children here as well but you can imagine just the amount of car breaks these parents are going through and just don't have really much information to go on and we're getting more units here from other stations as well that are still rushing in so it's been sirens and sirens all morning When I first heard the call go out of my house, I thought maybe this sounds like it could be a training exercise. But it sounded different and so you heard outside my window because I live off one of the main roads here in Santa Clarita. You heard unit after unit after unit after unit different types of sirens CHP sheriffs
06:43 You heard some from some off-duty police officers because a lot of police officers live here in Santa Clarita. And so you have a lot of those people who are, you know, in plain clothes and have their vests and tactical gear here helping with the uniformed officers and deputies here at the school So you have a lot of response here in front of the school along the main driveway here on Centurion Way. And so more ambulances coming in right now from American Medical Response, I can't tell you how many ambulances have come in since I've been here. I counted at least 10 to 11 that rolled through here and then about four or five that left. Okay? Now seeing as this was a long clip and I listened intently
07:29 means that you have something to say with it. Is it possible that there was a drill and the live event at the same time? Could we, could this be our lucky day?" Well I was thinking about what the hell's going on because this all took place within five or six minutes he emptied these five rounds then put one in his head... 16 seconds! With the news everywhere, 16 seconds it was all over not even 5 minutes just dumb Yeah, and it was all caught on video. They had apparently cameras in this whatever area it was but it's an open area so this was all done within a minute or two
08:15 Yeah, 730 in the morning. This other stuff is going on afterwards and it's like 11 ambulances funny though that did say 11 ambulance came in and five went out which is 5 for the five people that were injured or shot which was kind of interesting. And meanwhile, this was the sheriff that's giving this report and they got the fire department all gussied up in bulletproof vests and people were running around in every agency. This was unbelievable over response to a incident that goes on at Oakland daily. The whole thing was baffling the way they were
