Four students were injured at Wilmer-Hutchins High School in Dallas, with three sustaining gunshot wounds. The injured students, aged 15 to 18, had injuries ranging from serious to non-life-threatening. The shooting occurred around 1 p.m., leading to students evacuating the main school building in a panic. One student described hearing seven gunshots and seeking refuge with a teacher in a classroom.
The gunman was identified but remained at large initially, though was later arrested and taken to the Dallas County Jail. This incident occurred at the same school where a student was injured in a shooting in a classroom last year. Dallas ISD officials expressed frustration at the recurrence of such incidents, describing it as “unthinkable” and too familiar.
The gun did not enter the school building during the usual security screening process, leaving officials puzzled as to how it was brought into the building. The district did not provide details on how the shooting unfolded or what led to the incident. Classes at the school were canceled for the remainder of the week, with counselors available for students and staff struggling with the aftermath of the shooting. District police emphasized that the investigation was ongoing and information was limited due to the fluid nature of the situation.
