A student was shot at Magruder High School on Friday, sending the Montgomery County school into lockdown as officers combed the halls and terrified parents showed up early to try to get their children.
Police were able to take a suspect into custody. Early reports indicated that the incident was contained to the shooter and the victim.
“This is something you don’t need to deal with. Schools should be a safe place,” said the woman, who walked away without giving her name.
Officials were expected to provide more details at news conference set for late Friday afternoon.
Earlier, outside the school, the parent of a sophomore who said she raced to the scene to find out what was happening was turned back by police. She told reporters she had been in touch with her child, who was safe.
