POLICE COMMISSIONER: "We're fortunate that there's no loss of life, but that doesn't make it any less serious. I mean, kids with guns in school, anybody with guns in school is just a bad combination. It should not happen, absolutely should not happen." (Via KYW-TV)

As of Saturday morning, Philadelphia police said they hadn't recovered the gun used in Friday's shooting.
