Maryland high school shooter who injured two other students dies after gunfight with police officer
The shooting, which left a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old in critical condition, came four days before the March For Our Lives – partly organised by student survivors of the Parkland rampage
A student who shot and critically wounded two fellow students at a Maryland high school on Tuesday morning, died after exchanging gunfire with a campus security officer, the county sheriff said.
The school day had barely begun when the student, who has not been identified, shot a male student and a female student at Great Mills High School in St. Mary’s County before the campus security officer intervened, county Sheriff Timothy Cameron told a news conference.
“Our school resource officer who was stationed inside the school was alerted to the event and the shots being fired,” Cameron said.
“He pursued the shooter, engaged the shooter; during that engagement he fired a round at the shooter. Simultaneously, the shooter fired a round as well.”
The officer was not harmed, the sheriff said.
