3 teenagers wounded in US school shooting

TWO boys and a girl were shot Friday outside a high school in Portland in the northwestern US state of Oregon.

The teenagers, believed to be students at the Rosemary Anderson High School, were breathing, conscious and talking as they were sent to hospital, local media reports quoted police Sgt. Pete Simpson as saying.

The three ran inside a school building and sought help there after being shot around 12:15pm. (2015 GMT).

The shooter fled the scene and a manhunt was under way.

One of the boys wounded was identified by a family member as 17-year-old Labraye Franklin.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives sent agents to the scene.

Meanwhile, Portland Police Department's gang task force was investigating the possibility that the incident was gang-related, Simpson said.

The Rosemary Anderson High School, an alternative school serving at-risk kids, including those from homeless families, has about 190 students.

On June 10, at Reynolds High School, another school in Portland, a freshman shot dead one student and injured a teacher before killing himself.
