14-Year-Old Student Kills Self After Trying To Kill Classmate

Story out of Brewster, Texas:

A female student suspected of shooting a classmate at a West Texas high school Thursday morning has died, authorities said. The shooting prompted a lockdown at the school.

The armed suspect, a 14-year-old freshman, died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot, and the victim was taken to a hospital, Brewster County Sheriff Ronny Dodson told reporters. The victim's condition was unclear, but her injuries did not appear to be life threatening, according to the sheriff.

"She seems to be OK, nobody else was injured from the school, as far as the students," he told reporters.

In addition, Dodson said, an officer was shot in an accidental discharge between federal agents (yep, Texas) responding to the scene at Alpine High School in the small town of Alpine, about 200 miles southeast of El Paso. The officer was taken to the hospital.

Police arrived at the high school and found a girl with a gunshot wound and believed she was a victim, but it was later determined that she was the shooter, Dodson said. A semiautomatic weapon and ammunition were recovered from the scene. Cont.
