Hundreds of students were already on campus when the incident occurred. After the gunshot, a fellow teacher called 911.

“We only believe that two people, initially, were involved in this: himself and the other teacher who called for his aid,” Sgt. Jesse Hambrick said in a press conference.

The teacher’s name, area of expertise and condition were not immediately available. He is currently at an undisclosed hospital.
