Police said the shooter was a male about 20 years old.
The shooting took place around 9 a.m. CDT at the Central Visual and Performing Arts High School, which shares a building with the Collegiate School of Medicine and Bioscience. Both schools were placed on lockdown but only CVPA was targeted by the gunman.
