Student injured in shooting at Thomas Jefferson High School in Dallas
Shooting in Thomas Jefferson High School, Texas, USA
A student at Dallas ISD’s Thomas Jefferson High School was shot on campus a few minutes after dismissal Tuesday.
The shooting happened in a parking lot.
The student was shot in the arm and rushed by paramedics to a local hospital with injuries that are not life-threatening.
The incident appeared to have stemmed from a fight between students, police said.
When the shots rang out, students who were still inside the building went into lockdown.
Some who were outside waiting on buses or a ride were rushed back inside.
Student Blake Johnson told WFAA he was told to run to the library.
“I’m like, I can’t leave right now? And they’re like, No, go to the library. Go to the library!” he said.
Once police secured the scene, students were released.
