Washington, Sep 23 (TIWN) A shooting incident that occurred at a high school in the US state of Virginia resulted in two injuries, local police said.
A male juvenile was taken into custody in the case, police said in a statement. The chief said authorities believe the suspect and victims knew one another but did not provide details. The building was evacuated, and FBI agents and state troopers were searching the school for anyone remaining inside, Mr. Drew said. George Parker, superintendent of Newport News Public Schools, said the high school does random searches for guns. Classes resumed on September 8, so students were in their second full week of the school year. “No superintendent, no teacher or principal would want to ever go through this situation,” Mr. Parker said. “Just seeing the faces of our students and how afraid they were under these circumstances, and out staff, who are traumatized. ... No one would want to through these circumstances." Video from the scene showed tactical units arriving at the scene, parents on sidewalks talking on cellphones as crime scene tape stretched across portions of the school parking lot.
