The victims, two 15-year-old girls, were found next to each other with a weapon nearby. Each had suffered a single gunshot wound and both were declared dead on the scene.
Glendale police officer Tracey Breeden would not speculate as to the circumstances surrounding the shooting but emphasized that the police did not believe that there was an outstanding suspect and that the police had no persons of interest.
The relationship between the two girls was not known at the time of the press conference, but Breeden said that there were no threats made before, during, or after the shooting.
Police had indicated earlier that the incident was believed to be isolated and not an active shooter situation. Glendale Union High School District Superintendent Brian Capistran said that students should expect to return to school on Tuesday, following the President's Day holiday on Monday.
The shooting took place just before 8:00 a.m. and police were able to respond to the scene within 2 minutes of the first call.
The incident occurred in an isolated area of the school campus, Glendale police Sergeant David Vidaure said in a statement.
ABC15 showed footage of more than 100 parents gathered in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart, where police and school officials directed them to wait for their children. The school is planning to bus parents to the school for the students' release.
