The girl suffered a gunshot wound to the wrist and was taken to the hospital in fair condition, Los Angeles Fire Department said.
Gunfire erupted just before 9 a.m. inside a classroom at Salvador Castro Middle School, which is on the same California campus as Belmont High School, said Sgt. Edward Bernal of the Los Angeles Unified School District Police Department. The school campus is in the Westlake neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Police said the situation was under control, but the school remained on lockdown as a search was conducted. A weapon was recovered at the scene.
