Detective Ed Troyer says the two students were shot just off school grounds and that they ran back to campus.

Troyer says suspects fled after the shooting in a green vehicle, possibly a Chevrolet Impala.

Deputies who checked the school’s grounds found no signs any suspects were there.

The sheriff’s office said multiple suspects were being sought.
