The last hospitalized victim of the Saugus High School shooting that left three classmates dead and two others wounded has gone home.
The 15-year-old girl left the hospital late Monday and is recovering at home, the her family said in a statement. The family expressed gratitude for an outpouring of support from friends and the Santa Clarita community.
A wounded 14-year-old girl was released earlier from the hospital.
Doctors said the girls remained in good spirits during treatment, despite their injuries.
"Once we were done, they were both sitting up, smiling and talking," said Dr. Boris H. Borazjani, of Providence Holy Cross Hospital. "They held their composure, despite being shot. And, being shot in the torso is a big deal."
An injured boy was treated and released Thursday.
At a Friday morning news conference, Borazjani called the shooting at the campus of about 2,300 students north of Los Angeles part of an "unacceptable public health problem."
Detectives continue to search for a motive for the killings carried out last Thursday by a boy who had just turned 16 years old. The teen shot himself and later died.
Authorities have said he didn't appear to be linked to any ideology.
