A 15-year-old student was wounded Monday when a gunman opened fire at her Texas high school, authorities said.

The suspected male gunman was taken into custody before 8:30 a.m. local time, after the shooting at Italy High School, the Ellis County Sheriff’s Office said.

CBS affiliate KTVT reported the suspect, 16, was also a student at the school.

The wounded teen was airlifted to Parkland Hospital in Dallas — about 40 miles north of Italy, the sheriff’s office said.

Parents received a text message from the school’s superintendent saying junior and senior high school students were being bused to the nearby elementary school, ABC affiliate WFAA reported.


Police are reportedly waiting to release the students until everyone’s been accounted for.

Italy bills itself as the “biggest little town in Texas,” with a population in the thousands.

2 killed in Kentucky school shooting 01:02
Story highlights

  • Kentucky shooting comes a day after a girl was shot at school in Texas
(CNN)Another high school has turned into a scene of carnage, this time in western Kentucky.

Sixteen people were wounded, two of them fatally, after a shooter opened fire Tuesday morning at Marshall County High School, authorities said. Four others sustained various injuries.

Video shows high school after shooting 02:11
A 15-year-old male student was arrested at the scene and will be charged with murder and attempted murder, Gov. Matt Bevin said. Marshall County Attorney Jeff Edwards said it's likely the suspect will be charged as an adult, but his name won't be released unless he's indicted.
Authorities identified the slain victims as Bailey Holt and Preston Cope, both 15 years old. Bailey died at the high school and Preston died at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, according to State Police Commissioner Richard W. Sanders.
Sanders said the suspect, armed with a handgun, walked into the school at 8:57 a.m. ET and started shooting. The first 911 call was received two minutes later.
The victims ranged from 14 to 18 years old, state police said. Fourteen were male and six were female.
'Mom, there's been a shooting'
Several parents said their children told them the shooting started in the commons area before classes started, CNN affiliate WSMV reported.
Missy Hufford said her son, Ethan, 15, ran into the gymnasium and out of the building through a side door. Then he called and asked her to pick him up, she said.
"I know when he called me, he said, 'Mom, there's been a shooting.' And I asked him if he was OK, and he said, 'I'm running,'" WSMV reported.
Parent Misty Green said her daughter, Morgan, was in the commons area and "heard the 'pop, pop, pop' and initially got down, and then just realized what was going on, so they took out running out of the building as fast as they could."
"And teachers were grabbing kids up and helping them get into safe places. And helping them get outside and get to a safe location," Green told WSMV.
Junior Taylor Droke told CNN affiliate WZTV that she and a friend were running late and arrived as students poured out of the school.
"You could see students dropping their bags and just start running, pushing past each other," she said. "Everyone in cars started turning around and driving away. Kids were jumping the fence around the school and running through the woods."
Droke said she contacted her mother on Facetime. Then she and her friend gave a ride to some students and loaned them phones to call their parents.
"Everyone just left their bags and ran, so people had no cellphones," Droke said.
Shot in the arm
Benton, Kentucky
Daniel Austin, a 17-year-old special needs student, was hospitalized. His parents called his cell phone incessantly until someone in the emergency room picked up and said Daniel had been shot.

Daniel Austin, right, was wounded during the mass shooting at Marshall County High School.
His mother Andrea rushed to the hospital, bewildered as to why this happened.
"Teachers love him. Students love him. I don't think anything can say one bad thing about him," Andrea Austin said. "And that's not because I'm his mom. Everybody loves him."
Austin said her son was shot in the right arm, which might need to be amputated. She lauded the heroics of a fellow student and a teacher, who quickly scooped up Daniel after the gunfire stopped, rushed him to a car and drove him to a hospital.
Trooper thought deceased victim was his daughter
Sanders, the state police commissioner, said authorities are praying for the victims. The carnage was especially hard on first responders.
One of the first state troopers to arrive at the high school thought Bailey, the student who died at the school, was his daughter, Sanders said. The trooper's daughter was dropped off at the the school that morning, and she and the victim were wearing similar clothing, Sanders said.
"He had to go over to convince himself that that was not his daughter," Sanders said.
State police said six victims, including Preston, were taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashvillle, about 100 miles away.
Among the injuries, three students were shot in the head, Dr. Oscar Guillamondegui, medical director of the trauma intensive care unit, told reporters earlier.
Three victims remained critical condition at Vanderbilt late Tuesday and one victim was in stable condition at the hospital, state police said.
"There's never a day you're prepared to be happy like a moment like this," Guillamondegui said. "We're just as devastated as anybody would be. Luckily, we're trained and prepared."

Marshall County Schools Superintendent Trent Lovett asked the community to "wrap your arms around these families and around these students, as you always have."
"Together with the community, we will begin the long healing process within our schools. God be with us all," Lovett said.

2 school shootings in 2 days
The violence in Marshall County, a rural area near the western tip of Kentucky, stunned the governor. Authorities have not provided a possible motive.

"It is unbelievable that this would happen in a small, close-knit community like Marshall County," Bevin said in a statement. "This is a tremendous tragedy and speaks to the heartbreak present in our communities."
It also stirred painful memories of the 1997 school shooting that killed three students in West Paducah -- just 32 miles from the high school in Benton.
Tuesday's attack came one day after another school shooting, in Texas.
On Monday, a 15-year-old female student was shot in the city of Italy, officials said. She was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Dallas. The suspect, a 16-year-old male, was "apprehended within minutes," city officials said.
The motive for that shooting also remains unclear.
At least two dozen prayer vigils and prayer circles were planned for Tuesday and Wednesday, according to the high school.
Giffords: 'Devastating news'
Former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who survived a gunshot wound during a January 2011 assassination attempt in Tucson, Arizona, said the Kentucky shooting again demonstrates the need for stronger gun laws.
"The devastating news about the shooting in Kentucky this morning is the latest example, but just yesterday, while the nation's attention was focused on the government shutdown, school shootings were also reported in Texas and Louisiana," Giffords said in a statement.
"Our nation has experienced 13 mass shootings already this year, and it's only January. We will never accept these horrific acts of violence as routine."
CNN's Ralph Ellis, Chris Boyette, Devon Sayers, Justin Lear and Darran Simon contributed to this report.

2 dead, 17 injured after 15-year-old boy opens fire at Kentucky high school

UPDATED 24 JANUARY, 2018
BENTON ― A 15-year-old boy opened fire with a handgun just before classes started at his high school in rural western Kentucky on Tuesday (Jan 23), killing two fellow students and wounding a dozen other youths before he was arrested, the state's governor and police said.

The shooter, who has not been identified, entered a common area at Marshall County High School in Benton shortly before 10pm (local time), pulled out a pistol and began firing at students, witnesses told local media.

"I see this guy draw from his side and he pulls out a pistol. I didn’t even know what was going on. And then it registered.

About the time it registered, this guy was sitting here pulling the trigger into all of us," student Bryson Conkwright told TV station WKRN.

"I can hear the gunshots. He was shooting in our group," said Conkwright, showing where a bullet grazed his hand.

Authorities declined to discuss possible motives for the shooting. There was no immediate indication of how well the suspect knew the victims, but officials said he was believed to have acted alone and faces multiple charges of murder and attempted murder.

"There's no good answer for it," Governor Matt Bevin said at a news conference. "There's 1,000 hypotheses we're not going to go into."

The bloodshed at the school of nearly 1,150 students in a small farming town about 130 miles (210 km) northwest of Nashville, Tennessee, was the latest outbreak of gun violence that has become a regular occurrence at schools and college campuses across the United States over the past several years.

After the shooting, signs of chaos in the school were abundant, Marshall County Attorney Jeff Edwards told the Louisville Courier-Journal newspaper.

"To walk in, the backpacks laying around, the phones laying around, going off “it’s indescribable,” he was quoted as saying.

Church vigils were planned for Tuesday evening.

A WOUNDED COMMUNITY

Tuesday's rampage occurred just 32 miles from Heath High School in West Paducah, Kentucky, where in 1997 a 14-year-old boy opened fire on a group of students, killing three.

At Marshall County High, 14 students were hit by gunfire, two of them fatally, officials said. A 15-year-old girl was pronounced dead at the scene, and a 15-year-old boy died at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center's trauma unit in Nashville, Bevin and hospital officials said.

Four of the other gunshot patients brought to Vanderbilt were expected to survive, doctors said.

Less severely wounded students were taken to other hospitals. Another five students suffered non-gunshot injuries, Bevin said, bringing the total number of injured to 17.

Mr Bevin said the youth was apprehended at the school "in a nonviolent" manner, but the governor did not elaborate.

Sanders said students followed training they had recently received from state police in how to respond to such incidents.

No further details of the circumstances of the shooting were immediately released. The students involved were not identified.

Agents from the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Federal Bureau of Investigation joined the investigation, officials said at the news conference.

The school serves Marshall County, which has population of about 31,000.

During the news conference at the county Board of Education, Mr Bevin's voice choked with emotion and he paused to collect himself. He asked the news media to exercise restraint in dealing with victims' families.

“I beg of you again - respect the fact that these children belong to this community and to specific families in this community. And this is a wound that is going take a long time to heal. And for some in this community it will never fully heal.”

White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said President Donald Trump had been briefed on the shooting. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and the families there," she said. REUTERS
