One student was killed and at least three others were injured Wednesday after gunfire erupted at a Washington state high school.
“The shooter has been apprehended and taken into custody,” Spokane Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer said as Freeman High School in the town of Rockford was on lockdown and deputies were questioning witnesses. “They are interviewing the kids who were at the school at the time.”
Three “pediatric patients” were at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center & Children’s Hospital and in stable condition, NBC News has confirmed.
Schaeffer described the victims as “children” but gave no other information about them or the suspected shooter. But he said the suspect acted alone.
“There was just one shooter,” he said.
