Two US students shot outside school

Two teenage students were shot and wounded during a robbery attempt outside a high school near Los Angeles, authorities said.

The victims, ages 16 and 19, were in a "fair condition" in hospital. The shooting at Gardena High School occurred after one of three men demanded money from the 19-year-old, police said.

When the victim said he had no cash and turned to walk away, the robber fired. The 16-year-old girl was standing next to the 19-year-old.
