In a shocking incident at Wilmer-Hutchins High School in Dallas, a student was shot in the leg by another student inside a classroom on Friday morning. The Dallas ISD Superintendent, Stephanie Elizalde, confirmed the incident and stated that the injured student's condition is not life-threatening. The quick response from a teacher helped prevent any further injuries.

The shooting took place at approximately 10:30 a.m. at the school located on Langdon Road. Emergency medical services arrived promptly and transported the injured student to a nearby hospital for treatment. Dallas ISD police have assured the public that there is no active threat on campus and that a suspect is in custody. However, the identity and age of the suspect have not yet been confirmed, and police have not revealed the exact motive behind the violence.

Concerned parents were informed that students were being reunited with them in the Wilmer-Hutchins High School gym and were requested to bring proper identification. The school district expressed their understanding of this difficult time and emphasized that counseling services are available for those who may need support.

While the school stated that students and staff are safe, some parents expressed their frustration with the communication process. Patrick Benjamin, a parent whose child attends the high school, said he received an automated message stating that everything was under control, but he ignored it due to his child informing him about the presence of a gun in the school. Other parents also mentioned that they were not notified about the lockdown and had to rely on their children to inform them about the shooting.

The incident has raised concerns about the effectiveness of the school's security measures. Parents questioned how someone was able to enter the building with a gun, despite the presence of metal detectors. The school district and authorities are likely to conduct a thorough investigation to address these concerns and ensure the safety of students and staff.

As the situation unfolds, the community remains anxious and hopeful that everyone affected by this unfortunate incident will recover swiftly.
