VICTORVILLE, Calif. (VVNG.com) — No gunshot victims have been located after reports of a shooting at Silverado High School in Victorville, officials confirmed.
Just before 8:40 pm, on Friday, August 12, 2022, VVNG received numerous tips from people at the football game for Varsity scrimmage night against Serrano High School reporting gunfire from the parking lot area.
Sheriff’s spokeswoman Mara Rodriguez told VVNG the caller reported the game had just ended and several gunshots were heard in the parking lot area.
The sound prompted many people to hide in place including the cheerleaders inside of the locker room. A sheriff’s aviation helicopter responded to the scene and provided ground deputies with additional support.
“Deputies and emergency medical personnel are on scene. No gunshot wound victims have been located,” stated Rodriguez.
Firefighters from Victorville Fire responded to the incident and reported they had an assault victim with an injury to the ankle.
