CNNos Angeles (CNN) -- Two additional Los Angeles students have been charged after a shooting that wounded and hospitalized two other Gardena High School students, including one who was in critical condition Wednesday with a head wound, police said.
Both students -- a boy and a girl -- were arrested late Tuesday and are being held on suspicion of being accessory to a felony, said Lt. Randy Brooks of the Los Angeles school police.
A 17-year-old male student, a senior, was arrested Tuesday after he allegedly brought an automatic handgun in his backpack to a health class and the gun accidentally fired one round when the backpack was put on a desk, authorities said.
Meanwhile, incoming Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent John Deasy has found that the 2,400-student Gardena High hadn't been performing daily random searches of students with a metal detecting wand, in violation of district policy, said schools spokeswoman Lydia Ramos.
