Reports of the shooting and an ultimately false report of another attack at a nearby elementary school sparked chaos, terrifying parents and drawing a massive police response in Palmdale.
Police descended on Highland High School after dozens of emergency calls and reports there were hostages in the campus library.
More calls came in reporting gunshots were heard at an elementary school across town.
In the end, there was just one shooting and one victim.
The 14-year-old boy was arrested after he called his father to say he fired his gun in the air and was headed to a grocery store near the campus.
