A gunman opened fire in his estranged wife’s elementary school classroom Monday in San Bernardino, killing her and an 8-year-old student before fatally shooting himself, police say. Another student, 9, was also wounded.
Cedric Charles Anderson, 53, of Riverside, California, has been identified as the shooter, police said. Anderson was targeting his wife, who was a teacher, not students, and the murder-suicide is believed to have stemmed from a domestic incident, police said.
His wife has been identified as Karen Smith, 53. Smith was a special education teacher, according to the school district’s website.
The slain student has been identified as Jonathan Martinez, 8. The 9-year-old student who was also wounded has not been named. He is in stable condition, police said.
There were 15 students and two adult aides in the classroom when the shooting occurred, police said.
Police were called to the school at 10:27 a.m. Monday for reports of shots fired and an active shooter. They responded within four minutes and found the gunman and teacher dead inside the classroom, with two students suffering from injuries, police said.
Information about the gunman, the victims and the incident is still unfolding, here is what we know so far:
