Shooting near Deer Valley High in Antioch

ANTIOCH, CA (KGO) -- A student was shot several times just outside Deer Valley High School.

Witnesses told Antioch police they saw a group of kids exchange words with people in a car than the gunfire happened around 8:30 Wednesday morning.

The student was shot on a sidewalk near a crosswalk on Sagebrush Drive. As a result of the shooting, school never went into session. Deer Valley school officials put their school under lockdown immediately following the shooting just before 9 a.m..

"Shots were fired and the victim, who was one of our students, was hit in the arm and the chest and he was conscious. He was taken by helicopter to John Muir Hospital," said Deer Valley H.S. co-principal Scott Bergerhouse.

Lockdown means nobody leaves the school and nobody gets into the school, not even parents; some of whom did not like the idea.

"My daughter called me this morning about 8:50, she was screaming and hollering and asking me to come get her because somebody was shot. I was like 'what?' And she said 'hurry, hurry,'" said parent Nakisha Leslie.

"I want to get my kids and I can't. I'm just nervous because I don't know what is going on," said parent Dorothy Marshall.

The problem was the shooter was not in custody -- so all 22 Antioch schools were put into lockdown.

""We want to always ensure the safety of our students on campus as a precaution anytime we have any kind of intruder. We want to make sure our students are safe," said Deer Valley H.S. co-principal Clarence Isadore.

Deer Valley parents are being asked to come and get their kids. Students who do not have their parents pick them up will stay on campus until the end of the school day.

The current condition is not known of the student who was shot, but he was conscious when he left in the helicopter.

The school will reopen on Thursday.

The whereabouts of the shooter are unknown.

but you see how much publicity this incident gets? I'm thinking because of the location in Antioch. I've seen it on every news station. Shootings happen in the rich and the town all the time. Only a small percentage are shown on the news

its because nobody expects shit like that to happen in a city like antioch. n the shit with the garrido case doesnt help either.

WTF news are you watching I see Richmond shootings or how to stop the violence in Richmond on the news EVERY DAY.

The only reason this is on all the news stations is because they had to shut down all the schools in the city. Everytime something has to do with a school it gets hella coverage.

I read to Contra Costa Times every day, there are hella shootings in Antioch that never even make the TV news.

Antioch has a ghetto it isnt like its some super soft ass city. People just see the suburban houses/part. My aunt lives in the old part of Antioch that shit looks like a hood to me.

You talking about Richmond?

Yea I lived in Central for about a year and my closest homeboy still lives over on Bissle. I'm in Richmond about every weekend damn near.

The reason they dont do a story on EVERY shooting in Richmond is cuz the entire 1 hour news program would be about nothing but murders/shootings in Oakland and Richmond.

To be honest people outside of Oakland or Richmond dont really give a shit.
