Sheriff Says At Least 8-10 Dead In Texas High School Shooting, Possible Explosive Devices Located At The School

At least 8-10 are dead and many more inured in the aftermath of the shooting at Santa Fe High School.

UTMB reports that they are treating three patients, two adults, and one under 18 years old.

Zach Muehe, a sophomore, at the school tells FOX 26 that he saw another student from his football class come into his classroom and start shooting.

Muehe says he then ran to another classroom to alert a teacher to evacuate the school.

He says the teacher then pulled the alarm while evacuating students.

Several people ran from the campus and crossed Highway 6, which has now been closed.

The shooter is in custody, but I’m also seeing reports than an additional individual has been detained.

I was just watching Fox News, and I heard someone say that an armed school resource officer engaged with the shooter. I’m also seeing reports that the shooter used a shotgun, but we’re waiting for confirmation.

We’re also seeing reports that there may be explosive devices at the school.
