Construction worker killed at Villa Park high school in Orange County

A construction worker was killed, and another was injured during an incident at a construction site at an Orange County high school Thursday.

While investigators remained tight-lipped about how the deadly event occurred, students said they saw two men working on their gym, which is under renovation.

Pictures taken by students showed a large area being taped off with several construction workers, paramedics and police. “I go to the bathroom and see a bunch of ambulances. And I see a guy on one of the beds – the stretchers. And then they put him into the ambulance,” Alex Miron, a student at the school, described what he witnessed.

“They told us it’s a lockdown. There’s an emergency going,” Landon Hunt, another student, said. “I was pretty scared. I thought it was a shooting or something.”Authorities, including officials from the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health , were investigating the cause of the incident.
