Four students were injured, three with gunshot wounds, after a shooting at Wilmer-Hutchins High School in Dallas. Dallas Fire-Rescue confirmed the injuries, with patients aged 15 to 18, ranging from serious to non-life-threatening. Students evacuated the building after the shooting around 1 p.m.
The gunman was identified but at large initially and later arrested. This was not the first shooting at the school; a student was injured in a classroom last year. Superintendent Stephanie Elizalde expressed concern over the frequency of such incidents.
The gun did not enter the building during the security check, but officials did not disclose how it was brought in or what led to the shooting. Classes were canceled for the week, and counselors were available for support. The investigation was ongoing, and the suspect was held in the Dallas County Jail.
The incident highlights the ongoing issue of school violence and the need for better security measures and support for students affected. The community was shaken by the events, as students recalled the chaos and fear during the shooting. The swift response of emergency personnel helped in ensuring the safety of the students and addressing the situation promptly.
