LOS ANGELES, CA -- A person who was allegedly filming an all girls Jewish school in the Fairfax area was shot by a security guard during the noon incident, officials at the Etz Jacob Congregation/ Ohel Chana High School say.

The unidentified person, who was dressed all in black and was carrying a black backpack, was seen canvassing school property. When a guard approached, the two had words and the guard shot the person in the leg. Whether this was accidental or on purpose is not clear. The person who was filming the school also filmed the shooting and the aftermath. The full 38-minute video can be seen above; the shooting occurs around the 4:05 mark. (Warning: video includes strong language, including profanities.)

The wounded person was transported to a hospital, but was not critically injured, according to the school. The security guard was detained by officers, according to the LAPD. The wounded person was released from the hospital later the same afternoon. According to ABC 7, the person who was shot is transgender and identifies as a woman.

After the incident, the school sent a letter to the students' parents explaining what happened. "Absolutely no students were hurt or in danger at any time during this period," the letter reads in part. "As a precautionary measure, the school building was put on lockdown and will continue to be on lockdown until further notice that all has been cleared by the police."

The students, the letter said, were "given extra time to relax before going into class."

This is a breaking story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
