A 15-year-old student was injured in a shooting at her high school in Texas early today and a 16-year-old boy, also a student at the school, has been taken into custody, sheriff’s officials said.
The girl was airlifted to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas following the shooting in the town of Italy, some 70 kilometers south of Dallas, said Sgt. Joe Fitzgerald of the Ellis County Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff’s office reported an active shooter at Italy High School at about 7:50 a.m. The shooter was found and taken into custody without incident.
Fitzgerald did not have any information on the injured student’s condition. Several law enforcement vehicles and an ambulance were parked outside the school. The sheriff’s office said students have been removed from the school and that an investigation is ongoing.
Italy promotes itself as “The Biggest Little Town In Texas.”
