Texas School Shooting kills 1, read full matter
A firing took place at a Dallas area school in Taxes in which one is dead, and another one is injured.
On Monday morning, a student opened fire at a school in the Dallas region, killing one student and injuring another before being taken into custody on charges of capital murder, according to police.
According to police and school district representatives, the shooting started at a high school site in the Arlington suburb at 6:55 am, before several students arrived for the 1st day back to school following spring break.
Arlington police chief Al Jones reported on Monday that a male student who had been shot had passed away at a hospital and that a female victim had been “grazed” by shrapnel and suffered non-life-threatening wounds. He baulked at disclosing their ages or grades.
At a news conference in the afternoon, Jones reported that a second male student had been detained on the spot and charged with capital murder.
The alleged shooter is a kid; therefore, the police chief declined to identify him, but he was claimed to be being held at a nearby juvenile prison facility.
According to Jones, the shooter fled the scene without ever entering Lamar High School and was apprehended “within minutes” by responding police.
He claimed that while authorities had found a gun used in the shooting, the shooter’s motivation and the source of his weapon were still unknown.
The shooting started just before the police were scheduled to report for duty, according to Jones, and none of the usual police officers assigned to the school was present.
Anita Foster, a spokeswoman for the Arlington Independent School District, said that although the campus was locked down during the shooting, arriving kids and buses were diverted from it before classes were scheduled to start. Around 10:40 am, according to the police, the school had been thoroughly searched.
Superintendent Marcelo Cavazos said school staff reunited students who had been taking shelter inside the school with their guardians or parents at 11 am.
He announced that there would be no classes on Tuesday and that counsellors would be available to students and workers on Wednesday.
Anyone found guilty of capital murder in Texas may receive the death penalty. Charges brought after an arrest are not usually the same as those that prosecutors ultimately decide to prosecute a case.
