Teacher, 8-year-old student killed after husband opens fire in San Bernardino classroom, officials say

Three people, including a teacher and an 8-year-old boy, died Monday in an apparent­ murder-suicide at an elementary school in San Bernardino, Calif., police said, dealing another shock to a community still reeling from a terrorist attack two years ago that claimed the lives of 14 people.

Police say the gunman, Cedric Anderson, 53, entered a classroom at North Park Elementary School on Monday morning, raised a large caliber revolver, and, without saying a word, opened fire on the teacher, Karen Elaine Smith, also 53, who was his estranged wife.

Police said they arrived at the scene about 10:30 a.m. to find that Anderson had turned the gun on himself, as well.
