=============================================================
Scott Chandler stood over the lone gunman after he was tackled near the elementary school and yelled: "Why are you shooting kids?"
Chandler, a professional surfer who lives across the street from Kelly Elementary School, never got an answer from the suspect following the shooting around noon Friday.
Police say that minutes earlier suspect had parked his car, jumped a school fence and fired on the playground in the beach community north of San Diego, shooting two students in their right arms.
The students, ages 6 and 7, are expected to make full recoveries, Carlsbad police Lt. Kelly Cain said.
The gunman continued firing rounds as construction workers chased him. At one point, construction worker Carlos Partida told KGTV-TV that he ran to his truck and drove into the gunman to stop him.
"I hit him with my truck," Partida said. (abc news/us)
