At approximately 1:30 p.m. CT, a Memphis police officer located the suspect's vehicle a few miles away on McCory Avenue. The driver reportedly got out of the car holding a gun and, "for reasons still under investigation, the officer fired his service weapon, striking the individual," the TBI said. "The TBI does not identify the officers involved in these types of incidents and instead refers questions of that nature to the respective department to answer as it sees fit," the agency added.
The unidentified suspect allegedly tried to gain entry into the school and opened fire outside when he couldn't get in, police said. A screengrab from the school's security footage, obtained by ABC News, shows a man going through the pre-entrance doors holding what appears to be a handgun.
