UPDATE: At his time police are surrounding a home with guns drawn, presumably where they believe the suspect is hold up. Fox News is already on a delay, anticipating that we might see someone die…
Also, there are reports that there may only be 5 victims, not 7:
#SaugusHighShooting: We have received 2 patients in critical condition, 3 en route. We will provide updates as they become available.

UPDATE: According to a Fox News guest, the suspect is not at the home that police are surrounding. Police are outside the home because they are waiting on a warrant. If the suspect were there, they would have already entered the home.
UPDATE: They are now saying the shooter was a student…
Multiple reports saying the Saugus High shooter is a student.
