Video From UCLA Shows How Vulnerable Students Are In A Gun Free Zone Lockdown
A campus shooting on Wednesday at the University of California left two men dead in a murder-suicided that sent thousands of students looking for safety and locking themselves down in classrooms.
UCLA is a gun free zone that prohibits students from carrying a gun within 1,000 feet of school grounds under Penal Code 626.9 PC, also known as California’s Gun-Free School Zone Act.
Two men have been killed in a murder-suicide pact at UCLA on Wednesday morning, with local and federal law enforcement officers putting the campus on lockdown as a result. Two people were found dead inside a campus engineering building, according to a UCLA spokesperson. The shooting follows a bomb threat the night before that occurred as a result of Breitbart Technology editor, Milo Yiannopoulous, giving a controversial talk at the University against feminism.
Police at UCLA were investigating a possible shooting in Boelter Hall, according to the university.
