Overview
- Officials say the violence stemmed from an altercation between two students that was described as a targeted attack.
- Just after 11 a.m., a school resource officer called for immediate assistance, prompting a lockdown and a rapid multi-agency response.
- One student died at the scene, and a sheriff’s spokesperson later said the injured student was treated at a hospital and released, contradicting earlier reports of critical condition.
- Investigators have not released identities, potential charges, or a motive, and Sheriff Bobby Kimbrough declined to provide further details during the active case.
- Classes are canceled Wednesday with crisis teams deployed for staff and students, and Governor Josh Stein offered condolences and support.
