She says authorities are not searching for any suspects and a weapon was found near the bodies.
Breeden says police received a call of a shooting just before 8 a.m. and they were on scene within minutes.
She told parents awaiting word on their kids that "your children are safe."
Dozens of worried parents waited at a convenience store nearby for word about their children. Cheryl Rice said she was frightened for her 15-year-old daughter but was relieved when the girl called to say she was OK.
Glendale police say there's no active shooter and no more danger at Independence High School.
A Glendale Union High School District spokeswoman didn't immediately return a call for comment.
The district website says the school has more than 2,000 students and was founded in 1977.
