Two students were critically injured and four others hurt when they came under fire as they left a school bus in Las Vegas, US police say.

The six were all either middle or high school students and were shot just before 1400 local time (2200 GMT), the Associated Press news agency reports.

At least two people are believed to have taken part in the shootings, a police officer said.

It was not clear if the suspects had been on foot or in a vehicle.

According to local newspaper Las Vegas Review Journal, the six students were shot near a bus stop on "Alexander Road at Walnut Road".

Two are believed to be in their late teens and the others are believed to be juveniles, it said, adding that one of those hurt is a girl.

Two male casualties were reportedly shot in the torso and the others apparently suffered less serious wounds, the newspaper added.
