2 in critical condition after school shooting

Three people are in the hospital after a shooting at a Des Moines, Iowa, school on Monday, according to police.

Two victims are in critical condition and one is in serious condition after the shooting at Starts Right Here, a charter school, the Des Moines Police Department said.

The shooting was reported just before 1 p.m. About 20 minutes later, "multiple suspects" were taken into custody at a traffic stop about 2 miles away from the school, according to police.

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds said in a statement that she's "shocked and saddened."

She said she's seen "first-hand how hard" the school staff "works to help at-risk kids through this alternative education program."

"My heart breaks for them, these kids and their families," the governor said.
