Four students — all boys — and a 34-year-old man sustained non-life-threatening injuries from some kind of non-lethal weapon and were taken to a hospital, Amy Bastman of the Los Angeles Fire Department said.

A Los Angeles Police Department spokesman said it appeared the victims were shot with a pellet gun, but referred additional questions to school police, who were investigating.

It was not immediately clear if anyone was taken into a custody or if a weapon was recovered.
