They then lined up along a wall and grabbed something to throw, also part of the active shooter training they’ve done, Hodder said. But not long after, she added, her teacher told them to jump out a window and run.
Authorities did not say whether the suspect targeted anyone in particular, nor did they release any information about a motive. McCabe said authorities were investigating whether there were any warnings before the shooting or if the student had any history of violence. He said students and others would be questioned.
The suspect, whose name was not released, invoked his right to remain silent and refused to speak in depth with authorities, McCabe said. He said the boy’s parents “didn’t want their son to talk to us, and they hired an attorney,” adding since the boy is a minor he couldn’t be questioned unless a parent approved it.
Isabel Flores told WJBK, a local Fox affiliate, she and other students heard gunshots and saw a student bleeding from the face. They ran from the area through the rear of the school, said Flores, 15, a ninth grader.
Robin Redding, the parent of a 12th grader, said her son stayed home Tuesday. She said he had heard threats of a shooting at the school.
