Santa Fe shooting:at least eight killed at high school in Texas // WORLD BREKING NEWS
Between eight and 10 people have been killed and a number of people injured in a shooting at a Texas high school.
Police responded to reports of a shooter at Santa Fe high school, about an hour from Houston, on Friday morning before 8am local time. Students evacuated the school amid a heavy presence of law enforcement and first responders.
The Harris county sheriff, Ed Gonzalez, said at least eight and perhaps 10 people, including students and staff from the school, had died. A suspect, believed to be a student at the school, has been arrested and a second “person of interest” has been detained, Gonzalez said. A school district police officer was among the injured and officers were searching the school, Gonzalez added.
By early afternoon, a law enforcement official identified a person in custody in the shooting as 17-year-old Dimitrios Pagourtzis.
The official was not authorized to discuss the shooting by name and spoke on condition of anonymity to the Associated Press.
A woman who answered the phone at a number associated with the Pagourtzis family declined to speak with the AP. “Give us our time right now, thank you,” she said.
Pagourtzis plays on the Santa Fe high school junior varsity football team, and is a member of a dance squad with a local Greek Orthodox church.
Donald Trump broke off from an event at the White House and called it “ a very sad day”. He condemned “an absolutely horrific attack” and said his administration was “determined to do everything in our power” to prevent such incidents.
He said: “We are with you in this tragic hour and we will be with you forever. We will do everything we can to keep weapons out of our schools and out of the hands of those who should not have them.”
Trump pledged action on gun violence after the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, in February, and held high-level meetings with victims, survivors and lawmakers at the White House. But little action has resulted at the national level to change gun laws, despite a huge movement sparked by Parkland students calling for greater gun control.Dakota Shrader, a 10th-grader, told reporters: “We were in class. It was first period. The alarm started going off, everybody went outside, all the teachers were like: ‘Get this way, get this way, come over here.’ Next thing you know we hear the booms and everybody starts running as fast as they can.”
A friend was shot in the leg, she said, “and the next thing you know all the art [class] windows are getting shot, shattered”.
Authorities have not yet confirmed that report. Aerial footage from the scene showed students standing in a grassy field and three life-flight helicopters landing at the school.
