The incident was reported at about 4:10 p.m. Friday near the Albertsons on the 27600 block of Bouquet Canyon Road in Saugus, according to Lt. Marquez with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.
“Deputies are still investigating,” Marquez said.
Upon arrival, the suspect and victim were not found in the area, according to Shirley Miller, spokesperson for the station.
“This incident remains under investigation,” Miller said. “The area has been cleared and is safe.”
The suspect, possibly a 15-year-old, still fled from the area toward Haskell Canyon Road, according to initial reports from Sheriff’s officials on scene.
“I was exiting the Albertsons when four high school students ran toward me in front of Saugus Drugs screaming ‘somebody is shooting, somebody is shooting,’” said Justin Frye, a witness of the incident.
Frye then got behind a pole, checked the area, made sure the scene was safe before proceeding back inside the store to find the high school students.
“I can tell they were wearing Saugus shirts so I know they were heightened in situations like this,” Frye said, adding he saw no signs of injuries.
No persons were treated or transported to the hospital in connection to the incident, according to a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

Kids today…
It’s not just the kids. It’s the parents not locking up their guns. The parents also need to held accountable for their teenage kids and put all of them away
Guns don’t kill people, people do, it has nothing to do with the gun or parents, it’s the kids, BOOMER
Or, Einstein, they obtain the firearms ILLEGALLY. Most gun crimes are committed with ILLEGAL firearms.
Why do yo have to be a jerk? Perhaps this is the time to show a bit of humanity.
So what are you trying to prove? Legal or not, parents need to take accountability and make sure their kids don’t have access to their guns, no matter how the parents got them.
U r right. Let parent hid their guns and lock it away from their kids. Enough is enough. My both kids were at Saugus High school during last shooting and I was lucky that they were saved. Life become dangerous . Let’s walk up and take care of our lovely city and turn it back as a save city
Really it is not our fault people to this. Just cause it was a teenager don’t mean all teenagers are like this.
I think the story is partial bs I’m sure the kids said that but I’d bet it’s not true and 2 Nd ppl do need to be responsible with their guns but 1 kid who’s father owned guns who’s passed showing up at school with a gun does not mean all parents kids have access to their guns and if a parent should be held accountable for the kids actions half of you would be in jail by now for your kid fighting cursing ditching speeding etc get real
It appears the “shots” were nothing more than kids popping bags of chips while screaming “gun”. After what this community has gone through, I hope their parents punish them beyond comprehension. There are kids afraid to leave the house due to PTSD who were by the store.
