Four students were injured, three with gunshot wounds, after a shooting at Wilmer-Hutchins High School in Dallas. The students, ages 15 to 18, had injuries ranging from serious to non-life-threatening. Students evacuated the building after shots were fired around 1 p.m. The gunman was identified but initially at large, later being arrested and held in the Dallas County Jail. This incident occurred at the same school where a student was injured in a shooting last year.
Dallas ISD officials expressed dismay at the incident and emphasized the need for increased school safety. The gun did not enter the building during the regular intake period, where students pass through metal detectors. It is unclear how the gun made its way into the building or what led to the shooting. School officials announced classes would be canceled for the rest of the week, with counselors available for students in need of support.
Dallas Independent School District Superintendent Stephanie Elizalde lamented the familiarity of school shootings and stressed the importance of preventing such incidents in the future. The district is cooperating with authorities in the ongoing investigation to determine the circumstances leading up to the shooting. Students, staff, and the community at large are urged to seek support and counseling during this difficult time.
