Police said two students were injured in a shooting outside a Columbus school as students were being dismissed for the day.

The students, 12 and 15 years old, were in stable condition at the city’s children’s hospital.

Authorities said students fled into the school about 2:40 p.m. after the Thursday shooting outside Linden-McKinley STEM Academy on the city’s northeast side.

Students were released through a back door about 20 minutes later.

Police are investigating and seeking a four-door silver sedan.
