Just hours before the shooting began, students from kindergarten to high school filed onto the school’s 28-acre campus to sit through the
last week of classes before Christmas vacation. They had a week of festivities to look forward to, including a holiday concert and an Ugly Christmas Sweater Day, according to the school’s website.
The suspected shooter entered the school at the beginning of the day with the rest of the students, police said.
As the school day got underway, the shooter pulled out a handgun and opened fire on their peers, Barnes said. The shooting was “confined to one space,” the chief said, adding later it was a “classroom in a study hall of students from mixed grades.”
