A man shot two people in a Vancouver, Washington elementary school parking lot Tuesday afternoon.

"Clark County Deputies responded to a shooting at Sara J. [Anderson] Elementary," reads a press release from the Clark County Sheriff's Office. "Deputies arrived and located two victims. A description of the suspect and suspect vehicle was obtained. The suspect was located and a pursuit ensued. The suspect eventually stopped at Padden Parkway and Andresen Road and appears to have shot himself."

According to police, school had already been let out when the shooting occurred, and most students had left the school premises. The two victims were reportedly taken to local hospitals with "unknown injuries."

According to the Columbian, the shooting occurred at 3:20 pm. Streets in the area are currently closed. Drivers are advised to avoid the area.

Clark County Major Crimes, a detective division within the Clark County Sheriff's Office, will investigate the shooting.
