Two students have been shot at a vocational school in Northeast.
The victims, a male and a female, were shot around 2 p.m. at the Excel Institute located at 2591 V Street, NE.
About 30 students where inside the building when the shooting started.
According to D.C. Police, a disgruntled student with a gun went inside the school and shot a male student then shot a female student outside the school before carjacking a vehicle and driving to 17th and East Capitol Street, Southeast.
After ditching the vechicle, the suspect attempted to carjack two other vehicles before carjacking a Terminix car.
After a brief pursuit, the suspect was finally apprehended at 19th and C Street SE, but not before hitting a police cruiser, injuring an officer and another car, injuring a pregnant woman.
"I don't have any information to suggest that he was looking for anybody," said D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier (web|news|bio) . "The only information I have is that he was very agitated when he arrived at the school and is a student here and opened fire inside."
Both of the students' injuries are considered non-life threatening.
According to its website, the Excel Institute is a 501(c)(3), licensed post secondary educational institution founded in 1997 by former Washington Redskin George Starke, and John Lyon, CEO of Parking Management Inc.

Anyone know the ages of the students who go there? I can't find anything.
