A shooting was reported at a high school near Houston on Friday morning, with local media reporting that a gunman entered Santa Fe High School and began firing. The school is currently on lockdown.
The Santa Fe Independent School District issued a notice stating:
"This morning an incident occurred at the high school involving an active shooter. The district has initiated a lockdown at the high school. We will send out additional information as soon as it is available."
The shooting in Santa Fe, Texas, reportedly began before 8 a.m. local time. It's not yet clear what the status of the gunman is. Local media report that several people were injured; NPR has not confirmed that information, although ambulances and Life Flight medevac helicopters were called to the school.
Citing a parent who was at the school, local TV ABC 13 reported that a number of ambulances left the school carrying wounded people.
A student at the school told the station she had been sitting in art class when someone entered with a gun and began firing. The student said she fled — and that she saw a student who had been wounded in the leg.
Houston Public Media reported.
This is a breaking news story. As often happens in situations like these, some information reported early may turn out to be inaccurate. We'll move quickly to correct the record and we'll only point to the best information we have at the time.
