Police searched Wednesday for suspects in shootings that left two teen-age boys wounded at a school in Montclair and a teen-age girl wounded outside a school in Banning. Two reputed gang members also were wounded in the Banning incident.

Stunned Montclair High School students watched the lunch-hour shooting Tuesday. Police say the gunman was a former student.

The victims, a 16-year-old and 17-year-old, were taken to Loma Linda University Medical Center by helicopter. The boys’ names were not released.
