According to accounts, at least one student was shot in the leg.
Smith stated during the press conference that she was unaware of the circumstances surrounding the incident, referring to it as a “very fresh investigation.”
The shooting weapon “did not come through during regular intake time,” according to her.
“It was not a failure of our staff, of our protocols, of the machinery that we have,” Smith stated, without providing further details.
Around lunchtime, a senior student informed Dallas ABC affiliate WFAA that he heard several gunshots while he was in the foyer.
