WASHINGTON: Several people were shot at a Maryland high school on Tuesday, local news media reported, after school officials confirmed the campus was on lock-down and the incident had been "contained.
"Multiple people were shot and their condition was not yet clear, ABC News reported, citing the St. Mary´s County sheriff. The shooting took place at Great Mills High School in St. Mary´s County, about 110 km south of Washington. The sheriff´s office confirmed an incident at the school and urged parents in a Twitter post not to approach the campus.
Federal investigators from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were heading to the school, the agency said. It occurred amid a re-energized national debate over school shootings in the United States following an attack on Feb 14 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where a gunman killed 17 students and faculty.
