SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA — Two adults and an 8-year-old student are now deceased as a result of a firearms discharge that took place at a California elementary school on April 10. <br /> <br />At 10:25 a.m., Cedric Anderson, 53, entered North Park Elementary School carrying a concealed weapon. He reportedly signed in at the front desk to visit his wife, Karen Elaine Smith. <br /> <br />Smith, 53, was teaching a special needs class of mixed-grade students believed to be between the ages of 8 and 10, when Anderson walked into her classroom and opened fire. Police believe he fired a fatal shot at Smith, while also injuring two students standing near her at the time. Jonathan Martinez, 8, later succumbed to his injuries. <br /> <br />Authorities suspect Anderson turned the weapon on himself, and expired as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The two children injured in the incident were flown by helicopter to local area hospitals, where the one who survived remains in stable condition. <br /> <br />The school’s other 520 children were evacuated and taken to a nearby high school where they could be reunited with their parents.
