Noteworthy events
School shooting on February 12, 2016
Weiers provided the following statement to the press, following the apparent murder-suicide shooting of two female students at the Independence High School in the Glendale Union High School District on February 12, 2016:
| “ | On behalf of the City of Glendale we are deeply saddened by the tragic death of two 15-year-old female students at Independence High School this morning. I have been on the scene and met with Superintendent Brian Capistran and the Glendale Police Department. Glendale Union High School School District is following their protocol and all of the students are safe.
The Police Department informs us that this is not an active shooting incident. A weapon was found at the scene near the two students. The incident is under investigation. My daughter went to Independence High School, so personally this tragedy hits close to home. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to the families and friends of these two girls. Independence High School is a safe school, and we trust the District and police department will provide the support and counseling services necessary when school resumes on Tuesday.[7] |
