LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police say two people were shot near a Los Angeles charter school that occupies a former office building in a business district.

Officer Rosario Herrera says police responded to a call shortly after noon Thursday in the Van Nuys area.

TV news footage showed two people sitting up on gurneys being wheeled into ambulances.

There’s a large police presence near the CHAMPS Charter High School of the Arts about 15 miles (24 kilometers) northwest of downtown Los Angeles.
