Two St. Louis schools will remain closed going into this week, just days after a 19-year-old gunman forced his way on campus and began shooting, ultimately leaving a 15-year-old student and a teacher dead.
Central Visual and Performing Arts High School – where the shooting took place – and Collegiate School of Medicine and Bioscience will be closed all week, according to a news release from the St. Louis Public Schools. The two schools are within walking distance of one another. “More information on the restart of the two schools will follow,” the district’s release read.
Harris was armed with a high-powered firearm and had an arsenal of over 600 rounds of ammunition and more than a dozen high capacity magazines when he forced his way into the school and opened fire into the hallways. Harris graduated from Central Visual and Performing Arts High School in 2021. Harris was pronounced dead at a local hospital after a gunfight with police who arrived minutes after the shooting, St. Louis police said last week.
