A 15-year-old high school student in Maryland was shot and killed by a 16-year-old classmate in yet another school shooting on Friday.
The Joppatowne High School student died at a hospital following the shooting, Harford County Sheriff Jeff Gahler said.
The sheriff identified the student who died as Warren Curtis Grant, 15, of Edgewood MD.
The sheriff said calls started to come in around 12:36 p.m. Friday for an active shooting situation however, it turned out the incident was an isolated shooting incident. A 16-year-old boy who just started out at Joppatowne High School shot a 15-year-old classmate in a bathroom and fled.
School nurses attended to the victim, who was then flown to a hospital where he died.
"Our hearts are breaking for the victim and the victim's family, the circumstances are absolutely terrible, and this should not be happening in schools," Harford County Public Schools Superintendent Sean Bulson said.
The sheriff said the 16-year-old boy fled the school and was apprehended within minutes at a nearby apartment complex, but a weapon has yet to be recovered. He will be charged as an adult.
