The mayor made brief remarks before heading to Legacy Emanuel Hospital where the victims had been taken.
Unlike many high profile shootings at schools around the country in which a student has shot other students and then committed suicide, police made a point to say that the incident was not an active shooter situation.
The crime scene moved into investigation phase quickly, with police speculating that the shooting could either be gang-related or a personal grudge.
