The firearm of the 14-year-old juvenile has been confiscated.

Another shooting happened on Friday morning at Highland High School in Palmdale, CA according to the Twitter of Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

One person is injured and right now is in stable condition at a hospital, while the firearm of the detained suspect, a 14-year-old male, has been confiscated.

A suspect is in custody after authorities responded to a shooting at a Southern California high school Friday morning, officials said.

Witnesses who were outside the school described hearing gunshots and seeing students running from the building.

The suspect was apprehended near a Vons grocery store in Palmdale, a Los Angeles County fire official said.

"All authorities are telling us right now is that they are working on the situation," a student’s father said. "The only thing I want right now is to have my daughter right here."

The school's principal posted a message on Twitter, urging people to stay away from the campus.

"Law enforcement is working to assess the situation," the Principal Chris Grado wrote. "Please stay clear of campus. Will update as soon as have more information."

However, shooting at the schools actually is one of the biggest fears for all students and teachers around the United States lately.

The biggest shows of force in Spain for Catalan independence.

Hundreds of thousands of supporters of a unified Spain filled Barcelona’s streets on Sunday in one of the biggest shows of force yet by the so-called silent majority that has watched as regional political leaders push for Catalan independence.

Political parties opposing a split by Catalonia from Spain had a small lead in an opinion poll published on Sunday, the first since Madrid called a regional election to try to resolve the country’s worst political crisis in four decades.

Polls and recent elections have shown that about half the electorate in the wealthy northeastern region, which is already autonomous, oppose secession from Spain, but a vocal independence movement has brought the current crisis to a head.

Spain’s central government called an election for Dec. 21 on Friday after sacking Catalonia’s president Carles Puigdemont, dissolving its parliament and dismissing its government. That followed the assembly’s unilateral declaration of independence in a vote boycotted by three national parties.

The regional government claimed it had a mandate to push ahead with independence following an unofficial referendum on Oct. 1 which was ruled illegal under Spanish law and mostly boycotted by unionists.

Waving thousands of Spanish flags and singing “Viva España”, protesters on Sunday turned out in the largest display of support for a united Spain since the beginning of the crisis -- underlining the depth of division in Catalonia itself.

“I‘m here to defend Spanish unity and the law,” said Alfonso Machado, 55, a salesman standing with a little girl with Spanish flags in her hair.

“Knowing that in the end there won’t be independence, I feel sorry for all the people tricked into thinking there could be and the divisions they’ve driven through Catalan society.”

Clooney wondering, “Why investigators didn't print for ten years Weinstein story?”

"This is a Watershed Moment for Society" said George Clooney yesterday on his movie premier in Los Angeles.

And it looks that the Hollywood star is right. The world of seventh art is shaking by the recent wave of sexual harassment allegations made public against Weinstein and others including former Amazon chief Roy Price, and director James Toback.

Victims of sexual harassment, mostly Hollywood stars, have been encouraged lately to speak out. Social media, especially New York Times, and Alyssa Milano's #MeToo campaign helped artistes including Jessica Chastain, Brie Larson, Patricia Arquette, Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen to spoken out in one way or another.

Woody Allen believes that this new wave of rapist persecutor has created a "witch hunt atmosphere" in Hollywood

But George Clooney disagrees with Woody, "The reality is it's not a witch hunt to these women who were trapped in a hotel room and told they were going to get a part and then suddenly here comes Harvey Weinstein in his birthday suit. That's an assault. It's not just Hollywood it's all of society and we're going to have to come to terms with it because we haven't yet."

On Sunday, at Los Angeles premiere of Suburbicon, Clooney had a very interesting and critical question for the defenders of our society, "It's infuriating when I read stories about reporters who did investigations and didn't print it for ten years. Then you go, "Why didn't you print that story? And I would like to know who brought actresses up to Harvey Weinstein's room and then left."

Matt Damon is convinced that our society is undergoing through a major change without type of Weinstein behavior.

“If somebody as powerful as Harvey can be brought down by this what we need is for it to filter all the way down to somebody who is a single mom and a waitress who is getting harassed while she's punching out [of work] and she's afraid to speak up because she's going to lose her job and she needs her job. What we need is for her to be able to say, 'I'm allowed to speak up because this is wrong.' That's hopefully where this is going."

Demon believes that our society need these kind of “brave women who stepped up first and who took that chance and made their voices heard allowed all of these other women to understand they're not alone.”

The Hollywood actor Matt Demon, declared proudly yesterday that his world in the seventh art is surrounded by lots of great men who don't use their power in Weinstein way. “I like to feel that women have always felt safe in the environments I've worked in and the men that I've worked with, the George Clooneys and the Steven Soderberghs [where] the workplace is sacred and valued and equal and fair." Demon said and concluded,

"Everybody's got a new awareness about it now."
