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 were seen evacuating the building after the shooting around 1 p.m. The gunman, later arrested, was identified but initially at large. The incident occurred at the same school where a student was injured in a shooting last year.
Superintendent Stephanie Elizalde stated that such incidents should not be familiar. The gun did not enter the building during primary intake, where metal detectors are present. The district did not disclose how the gun was brought in or the details leading up to the shooting. Classes were canceled for the week, with counselors available for support.
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities did not provide further details on the suspect or the shooting details. The incident highlights the ongoing issue of school shootings nationwide and the need for increased school safety measures. The swift arrest of the suspect and immediate response of emergency personnel helped prevent further injuries and casualties. The district is working to provide support to students, staff, and the community in the wake of the traumatic event.
