Several agencies responded to a middle school in Texas Friday morning after a teenager’s mother noticed he was carrying a gun.
Police in Lubbock tell KCBD a mother was dropping off her 15-year-old son at O.L. Slaton Middle School around 9 a.m. when she noticed the firearm. The teen never made it inside the building, and he ran from the school.
The Lubbock Police Department responded to the area along with several other agencies in an attempt to find him.
The teen was found near the school’s campus and taken into custody.

Re: School related violence
Several conflicting reports about how many people were shot, where they were shot and how many died.

Reports that the shooter is in custody but also reports that the shooter is dead.

I'm not sure whether to weep or rage. Both, really.

Re: School related violence
Even from here an overwhelming feeling of despair at the horror and senselessness. May all your loved ones stay safe.
