Mayor Lee statement on Skyline High School shooting
Mayor's Office Contact:
Justin Phillips
"My thoughts are with the students, families, and staff affected by today's shooting at Skyline High School. We are praying for the victims full and speedy recovery, and to his family, we send our strength and support.
I am in close contact with OPD as they conduct their investigation.
Every child deserves to feel safe at school. Gun violence is a crisis we must address with unwavering urgency. We will continue working with law enforcement, community partners, and school officials to protect our children and ensure our schools remain sanctuaries of learning, not scenes of violence like today.
We are deeply grateful for the quick response and actions of OPD, Skyline staff and students."
- Mayor Barbara Lee
