A 17-year-old male suspect entered the school shortly after 1 p.m. when another student opened a locked side door. Despite the school’s security measures, including metal detectors, the assailant managed to evade detection and carried out a shooting that left four male students injured. Witnesses reported that the suspect displayed a firearm and fired indiscriminately before deliberately targeting one student, who could not escape, and shooting him at point-blank range. This tragic event unfolded in less than two minutes, alarming the local community. Shortly after the shooting, the suspect fled the scene but was apprehended by authorities a few hours later.
