The shooter was a student at the high school, which likely means this was a targeted event and not the result of an off-campus chase gone bad as was originally reported. As for further information about his background and motivations, we simply don’t have those answers yet. You can bet people are scouring social media to find that stuff out, though.

What has happened here is unspeakable. Evil is real, and I can’t imagine what the parents of those children are going through right now.

This is a breaking story. We will publish more details as they become available.

(Editor’s note: This piece was edited post-publication to reflect the name of the school and that it is an elementary school, not a high school. We regret the error.)
