The incident, which occurred around 9 a.m. local time, is considered rare for the country. Police have arrested two suspects, reportedly students, one at the scene. Authorities have not yet determined a motive for the shooting, and investigations are ongoing. The victims received immediate medical attention at nearby facilities.
