The Oakland Police Department said on Monday afternoon that the teenager who was shot at Madison Park Academy, a school with students in sixth grade through 12th grade, was in stable condition at a nearby hospital.
Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong said in a press conference that officers responded to the school at 1:30 p.m. on Monday. There, they took the alleged shooter into custody and recovered the gun used.
"Sadly, gun violence is impacting our schools as well," Armstrong said minutes after telling reporters that six people had been shot and killed in the four days preceding Monday.
Armstrong disclosed the victim's age, but not the shooter's. The Alameda County Sheriff's Office told KTVU that a 12-year-old was in custody. Armstrong said officials are still investigating the shooting and its motive.
The Oakland Unified School District didn't respond to KCBS Radio's request for comment on Monday afternoon. This story will be updated once we hear back.
