According to the livestream above: Interviews with angry parents that were not aware of what happened by the school. The child texted their parents to let them know what happened and that they are ok. Seem to be a breakdown with communication, parents said there is no structure in this school, kids are roaming halls, drugs,sex etc etc. there are 4 principles and yet they are not controlling anyone and the parents are not surprised something like this happened. Again, just repeating the livestream interviews.

Breaking news, this happened at 1:50pm, shot outside of building, suspect/student in custody, school on lockdown, orginally school was to let out at 3:45pm but may be delayed. Other local schools are on Lockdown as well. ( just typing what i'm hearing)
