<p>A gun in a US student&#8217;s backpack went off when he dropped the bag, wounding two students at his high school, police in California have said.</p>
<p>The 17-year-old could be charged with assault with a deadly weapon and other charges, said police Captain Bill Hayes.</p>
<p>Capt Hayes said it was &#8220;plausible&#8221; that the shooting was an accident, but that the boy was negligent to bring a loaded handgun to Gardena High School, a sprawling 1950s-era Los Angeles school with courtyards and rows of barracks-like classrooms.</p>
<p>John Deasy, incoming superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District, said there was no indication the student with the backpack had touched the gun before it discharged.</p>
<p>&#8220;He literally dropped his knapsack on the desk, and it went off,&#8221; Mr Deasy said.</p>
<p>Deputy police chief Patrick Gannon said the student apologised before running to another classroom. &#8220;He said, &#8216;I&#8217;m sorry&#8217;, when the gun went off. It made it appear to the teacher that it was an accident,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Detectives are trying to figure out where the boy got the 9mm semi-automatic pistol, which was recovered. He is being held at a juvenile detention centre after police interviewed him and his mother, Capt Hayes said.</p>
<p>Two 15-year-olds were struck with the same bullet, Mr Gannon said.</p>
<p>A girl suffered a skull fracture and bruising to the brain and developed a significant blood clot when the bullet grazed her skull, said James Ausman, a neurosurgeon at Los Angeles County Harbour-UCLA Medical Centre.</p>
<p>The blood clot was removed but the girl remained in critical condition. A boy was in fair condition after being hit in the neck.</p>
