The shooting happened as school administrators were searching the alleged shooter, authorities said.
A student was also taken to a hospital after the shooting, though Mayor Michael Hancock said they were not injured in the altercation. Instead, they had an allergic reaction and “a visceral reaction due to the tension of the moment.”
School district officials declined to elaborate on the circumstances that led to the safety plan agreement. Superintendent Alex Marrero said the plans are “very nuanced, and it’s particular to the individual.” Thomas said authorities know who the suspected shooter is and that police were searching to find him.
