Six students, either junior high or high schoolers, were shot today while exiting a school bus in Las Vegas.

Gunshots rang out in northeast Las Vegas just before 2 p.m., Officer Bill Cassell said.

Six young people were transported to area hospitals. Four had minor gunshot injuries and two were in critical condition, Cassell said.

At least two people are believed to have taken part in the shootings, he said. Police were not saying whether the shooting suspects were on foot or in a vehicle.

The shootings took place less than a mile from two elementary schools. Prayers for all of the children injured in the attack.
