– The latest school shooting has left two students wounded and the gunman dead at Great Mills High School in Maryland's St. Mary's County, reports the Baltimore Sun. The shooting happened about 8am, and details are beginning to emerge: Sheriff Tim Cameron says a male student fired at a female student in a hallway, and he apparently struck her and a male student nearby, reports USA Today. A school resource officer arrived on the scene and fired at the shooter, says the sheriff, and "that stopped any further attack or assault." The unidentified gunman is dead, says Cameron, but it was not immediately clear whether it was the shots fired by the school resource officer that killed him, per the AP. The Sun lists the 14-year-old boy as being in good condition; the 16-year-old girl was said to be hospitalized in critical condition but has been stabilized. FBI agents were on the scene to assist deputies. No word yet on a possible motive.
Last Wednesday, students from Great Mills High School in Southern Maryland joined a nationwide “school walkout” to call for an end to gun violence and more school safety measures. 
  
 On Tuesday morning, those same students were evacuated from their own school after gunfire rang out. 
  
 The suspected gunman, 17-year-old student Austin Wyatt Rollins, was pronounced dead hours later at a local hospital. Two teenage students were being treated for their injuries — one, Jaelynn Willey, was in critical condition — and a school resource officer who fired at the gunman was unharmed. 
  
 “This is what we train for. This is what we prepare for and this is what we pray we never have to do,” said St. Mary’s County Sheriff Tim Cameron. “And on this day we realized our worst nightmare that our greatest asset — our children — were attacked in a bastion of safety and security, one of our schools.” 
  
 The entire incident played out in less than a minute at 7:55 a.m. in a hallway at Great Mills, a school 90 miles south of Baltimore that enrolls about 1,600 students. 
  
 Cameron said Rollins fired a Glock 9-millimeter gun at a 14-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl, who was later identified as Willey. There’s “an indication that a prior relationship existed between the shooter and the female victim,” Cameron said, an angle that investigators were pursuing Tuesday. 
  
 The school’s resource officer, Deputy First Class Blaine Gaskill, responded quickly to the scene and “engaged” the shooter, Cameron said. As Gaskill fired at Rollins, Rollins “almost simultaneously” fired his gun, Cameron said. 
  
 Investigators are still trying to determine which bullets struck which individuals. 
  
 Willey suffered life-threatening injuries and was in critical condition at the University of Maryland Prince George’s Hospital Center, while the 14-year-old boy was in good condition at MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital. 
  
 Three people were injured in a shooting at Great Mills High School in Southern Maryland on Tuesday morning, according to a county spokesman. 
  
 Officers from multiple agencies are assisting with the investigation into the shooting, which included searching a car and a home, combing through social media accounts, interviewing witnesses, reviewing footage from surveillance cameras and tracing the ownership of the gun used by the student. Cameron said there were no immediately obvious warning signs on social media before the shooting, but said investigators still needed to take a deeper look. 
  
 The St. Mary’s County Sheriff’s Office urged anyone with information about the incident to contact the FBI. 
  
 Gaskill, the school resource officer, was in uniform at the time of the incident. He’s been with the sheriff’s office for nearly six years, after four years as a correctional officer. He’s been assigned to Great Mills as a school resource officer since the start of the school year. 
  
 Cameron praised Gaskill for responding quickly to the scene. He said all his deputies have been trained in how to respond to active-shooter situations as a single officer, instead of waiting to assemble a team. 
  
 “You go to the sound of gunfire,” he said. 
  
 Deputies, the school nursing staff and others provided first aid to the three teens who were shot, including applying a tourniquet and performing CPR, Cameron said. 
  
 Senior Terrence Rhames was standing with his friends outside their first-period class when he heard a shot. He knew instantly what the loud crack meant. 
  
 He started running, heading to a first-floor bathroom before thinking, “This is a dead end.” He turned instead to sprint toward the nearest exit. Out of the corner of his eye, Rhames said, he saw a girl fall. 
  
 “I just thank God I’m safe,” said Rhames, 18. “I just want to know who did it and who got injured.” 
  
 Parents were asked to meet their children at a reunification site on the Leonardtown High School campus, where counselors and other support staff were on hand. 
  
 Lexington Park resident Shonita Somerville said she had just dropped off her 11th-grade daughter when she got a call from her saying that there was a shooting in the school. 
  
 “She was walking in the hallway and said she heard a gunshot and kids running and crying and police running in with their guns,” Somerville said. 
  
 Somerville and her daughter were reunited two hours later. 
  
 “I never thought something like this would happen here. St. Mary’s is a small little place. Now, I can say: ‘You think it wouldn’t happen? It can happen to anybody,’ ” Somerville said. 
  
 No one answered the door Tuesday afternoon at Rollins' home in Lexington Park. 
  
 Toni Foreman, who lives across the street, said she was shocked to learn that Rollins might have been involved in the shooting. 
  
 He would often walk her son, 13-year-old Ivan Foreman, home after school, and just last week, the two boys played catch, she said. "I didn't know he had any guns," she said. "He was a very good kid." 
  
 She hesitated to say she regretted letting Rollins watch her son. "I don't know what the situation was," she said. "I wish he would have reached out for help." 
  
 "He just couldn't handle the situation," whatever it was that troubled him, Ivan chimed in. 
  
 Mostly, Foreman said she felt sorrow for Rollins' family and the two victims. "My heart goes out to all the families involved," she said. "They are all victims." 
  
 The Great Mills shooting comes just over a month after a deadly rampage in a Florida high school. Seventeen people died in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, catalyzing a national conversation about gun violence in schools. 
  
 Last Wednesday, Great Mills students participated in the “school walkout” on the one-month anniversary of the Parkland shooting. The students called for an end to gun violence and more school safety measures. 
  
 Mikki Braley, 14, was among more than 100 Great Mills students who walked out of class last week. Those same students were evacuated from class Tuesday. “I find it crazy,” she said. “Just a week ago we were protesting against this, and now we have a shooting in our school.” 
  
 One of the student activists from Marjory Stoneman Douglas tweeted her anger about the Great Mills incident. 
  
 “Less than a WEEK ago Great Mills High School students walked out with us to protest gun violence...now they’re experiencing it for themselves,” Jaclyn Corin wrote. “The state of our country is disgusting -- I’m so sorry, Great Mills.” 
  
 Great Mills High School will be closed Wednesday, and potentially through the end of the week, said St. Mary’s County Public Schools superintendent James Scott Smith. ||||| Deputies and federal agents converge on Great Mills High School, the scene of a shooting, Tuesday morning, March 20, 2018 in Great Mills, Md.

 A student gunman opened fire Tuesday at a high school in southern Maryland, injuring two students before an armed school resources officer intervened, authorities said. 
  
 The gunman, identified as Austin Wyatt Rollins, 17, was killed, but St. Mary's County Sheriff Tim Cameron said it was not immediately clear whether the school officer fired the fatal shot or whether the gunman killed himself. 
  
 The attack began shortly before classes were scheduled to start at Great Mills High, a 1,500-student school 65 miles south of Washington, D.C. Cameron said Rollins was armed with a Glock, semiautomatic handgun when he shot a 16-year-old female student in a hallway. A 14-year-old male student also was shot. 
  
 "Our school resource officer was alerted to the events," Cameron said. "He engaged the shooter and fired a round; subsequently the shooter fired a round as well." 
  
 Cameron said it was not clear whether the gunman shot himself or fired at the resource officer, identified as Deputy First Class Blaine Gaskill. 
  
 The female student was hospitalized in critical condition, and the male student was in stable condition, Cameron said. Gaskill, who was not injured, followed protocol, Cameron added. 
  
 "This is what we prepare for, this is what we pray we will never have to do," Cameron said. "The notion that this can't happen here is no longer a notion."

 Cameron said the shooter and the female victim had a prior relationship. Authorities were reviewing social media posts to "piece together" a possible motive for the shooting, he said. He asked that no one jump to conclusions until the investigation is concluded. 
  
 "We are a very tight-knit community," Cameron said. "So now what I would ask our community to do is pray for the victims." 
  
 The shooting took place less than a week after some Great Mills students joined tens of thousands of students across the nation in a walkout to protest gun violence. The walkout was spearheaded by survivors of the Valentine's Day rampage at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., that killed 17 students and faculty. 
  
 Parkland teens expressed solidarity Tuesday with the students at Great Mills on Twitter. 
  
 "Less than a WEEK ago Great Mills High School students walked out with us to protest gun violence...now they’re experiencing it for themselves," tweeted Jaclyn Corin. "The state of our country is disgusting - I’m so sorry, Great Mills." 
  
 Tweeted Emma González: "We are Here for you, students of Great Mills together we can stop this from ever happening again." 
  
 The shooting also took place less than a month after Great Mills High School Principal Jake Heibel told parents that officials had investigated threats of a possible shooting. Law enforcement was contacted, and the threat was "not validated," Heibel told parents. 
  
 On Tuesday, the school was placed on lockdown immediately following the shooting. "There has been a shooting at Great Mills High School," the school district said in a statement on its website. "The school is on lockdown (and) the event is contained. The Sheriff's office is on the scene, additional information to follow." 
  
 Dozens of law enforcement vehicles surrounded the school on a cold, rainy day. The St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office urged parents to gather at another school in the county to reunite with their children. 
  
 The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms said special agents from Baltimore and Hyattsville joined the investigation. Gov. Larry Hogan said state police were ready to provide support and that his office was monitoring the situation. "Our prayers are with students, school personnel and first responders," he said. 
  
 Jill Morris, president of the county education association, called the shooting "devastating" for the school's students. 
  
 "We are resolved to provide all the support and comfort we can to our colleagues and neighbors ... while we work together toward a day when no school community ever has to experience this type of tragedy," she said.

Förra onsdagen gick elever från Great Mills High School i Southern Maryland med i en rikstäckande ”school walkout” för att uppmana till ett slut på vapenvåld och fler säkerhetsåtgärder i skolan. På tisdagsmorgonen evakuerades samma elever från sin egen skola efter att skottlossningen hade brutit ut. Den misstänkte revolvermannen, 17-årige studenten Austin Wyatt Rollins, förklarades död timmar senare på ett lokalt sjukhus. Två tonårselever behandlades för sina skador — en av dem, Jaelynn Willey, var i kritiskt tillstånd — och en skolresursofficer som sköt mot revolvermannen var oskadd. — Det här är vad vi tränar för. Detta är vad vi förbereder oss för och detta är vad vi ber att vi aldrig behöver göra, "sade St Mary County Sheriff Tim Cameron. “Och denna dag insåg vi vår värsta mardröm att vår största tillgång – våra barn – attackerades i en bastion av säkerhet och trygghet, en av våra skolor.” Hela händelsen utspelade sig på mindre än en minut klockan 07.55 i en hall vid Great Mills, en skola 90 mil söder om Baltimore som registrerar cirka 1.600 elever. Cameron sa att Rollins sköt en Glock 9-millimeters pistol mot en 14-årig pojke och en 16-årig flicka, som senare identifierades som Willey. Det finns "en indikation på att en tidigare relation fanns mellan skytten och den kvinnliga offret," Cameron sade, en vinkel som utredare var att fullfölja tisdag. Skolans resursofficer, vice första klass Blaine Gaskill, svarade snabbt på scenen och “engagerade” skytten, sade Cameron. Som Gaskill sköt mot Rollins, Rollins “nästan samtidigt” sköt hans pistol, Cameron sade. Utredare försöker fortfarande avgöra vilka kulor som träffade vilka individer. Willey drabbades av livshotande skador och var i kritiskt tillstånd vid University of Maryland Prince George’s Hospital Center, medan den 14-årige pojken var i gott skick vid MedStar St Mary’s Hospital. Tre personer skadades i en skottlossning på Great Mills High School i Southern Maryland på tisdagsmorgonen, enligt en countytalesman. Officerare från flera byråer hjälper till med utredningen av skottlossningen, vilket inkluderar att söka igenom en bil och ett hem, söka igenom sociala mediers konton, intervjua vittnen, granska bilder från övervakningskameror och spåra ägandet av pistolen som används av studenten. Cameron sa att det inte fanns några tydliga varningsskyltar på sociala medier före skottlossningen, men att utredare fortfarande behövde ta en djupare titt. St Marys County Sheriff’s Office uppmanade alla med information om händelsen att kontakta FBI. Gaskill, skolans resursofficer, hade uniform vid tiden för händelsen. Han har varit hos sheriffen i nästan sex år, efter fyra år som kriminalvårdare. Han har varit förordnad till Great Mills som skolresursofficer sedan skolårets början. Cameron berömde Gaskill för att ha reagerat snabbt på scenen. Han sa att alla hans vicesheriffer har utbildats i hur man kan reagera på aktiva skyttar situationer som en enda officer, istället för att vänta på att samla ett team. — Man går till ljudet av skottlossning, sade han. Deputerade, skolsjuksköterskepersonalen och andra gav första hjälpen till de tre tonåringar som blev skjutna, bland annat genom att applicera en tourniquet och utföra HLR, sade Cameron. Senior Terrence Rhames stod med sina vänner utanför deras första klass när han hörde ett skott. Han visste genast vad den högljudda sprickan betydde. Han började springa, på väg till ett badrum på första våningen innan han tänkte, "Detta är en återvändsgränd." Han vände sig istället för att spurta mot närmaste utgång. Ur ögonvrån sade Rhames, han såg en flicka falla. — Jag tackar bara Gud att jag är säker, sade Rhames, 18. ”Jag vill bara veta vem som gjorde det och vem som skadades.” Föräldrarna ombads att träffa sina barn på en återföreningsplats på Leonardtown High School campus, där rådgivare och annan stödpersonal fanns till hands. Lexington Park bosatt Shonita Somerville sa att hon hade lämnat sin 11-klassiga dotter när hon fick ett samtal från henne om att det var skottlossning i skolan. — Hon gick i korridoren och sade sig höra ett skott och ungar springa och gråta och polis springa in med sina pistoler, sade Somerville. Somerville och hennes dotter återförenades två timmar senare. — Jag trodde aldrig att något sådant här skulle hända här. St Marys är en liten liten plats. Nu kan jag säga: ” Tror du inte att det skulle hända? Det kan hända vem som helst ”, sade Somerville. Ingen öppnade dörren på tisdag eftermiddag hemma hos Rollins i Lexington Park. Toni Foreman, som bor på andra sidan gatan, sade att hon blev chockad över att få veta att Rollins kan ha varit inblandad i skottlossningen. Han brukade ofta gå hennes son, 13-årige Ivan Foreman, hem efter skolan, och bara förra veckan, de två pojkarna spelade fångst, sade hon. »Jag visste inte, att han hade några pistoler», sade hon. "Han var en mycket bra grabb." Hon tvekade att säga att hon ångrade att hon lät Rollins titta på sin son. "Jag vet inte hur situationen var", sa hon. "Jag önskar att han hade bett om hjälp." »Han kunde helt enkelt inte hantera situationen», hvad det än var som oroade honom, kvittrade Ivan in. Mestadels sa Foreman att hon kände sorg för Rollins familj och de två offren. "Mitt hjärta går ut till alla inblandade familjer", sade hon. "De är alla offer." The Great Mills-skjutningen kommer drygt en månad efter en dödlig framfart i en Florida high school. Sjutton personer dog i Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School-skjutningen, och katalyserade ett nationellt samtal om vapenvåld i skolorna. Förra onsdagen, deltog Great Mills elever i "skolwalkout" på en månad årsdagen av Parkland skytte. Eleverna krävde ett slut på vapenvåldet och fler skolsäkerhetsåtgärder. Mikki Braley, 14 år, var bland mer än 100 Great Mills-elever som lämnade klassen förra veckan. Samma elever evakuerades från lektionen i tisdags. — Jag tycker det är galet, sade hon. “För bara en vecka sedan protesterade vi mot detta, och nu har vi en skottlossning i vår skola.” En av studentaktivisterna från Marjory Stoneman Douglas twittrade sin ilska över händelsen Great Mills. “Mindre än en vecka sedan Great Mills High School elever gick ut med oss för att protestera vapen våld ... nu de upplever det för sig själva,” Jaclyn Corin skrev. "Staten i vårt land är äcklig -- jag är så ledsen, Great Mills." Great Mills High School kommer att stängas onsdag, och potentiellt till slutet av veckan, sade St Mary County Public Schools superintendent James Scott Smith.

(Foto: JIM WATSON/AFP/Getty Images) En elev pistolman öppnade eld tisdag på en gymnasieskola i södra Maryland, skadar två elever innan en beväpnad skolresurser officer ingrep, säger myndigheterna. Vapenmannen, identifierad som Austin Wyatt Rollins, 17, dödades, men St Mary's County Sheriff Tim Cameron sade att det inte omedelbart stod klart om skolans officer avlossade det dödliga skottet eller om revolvermannen tog livet av sig. Attacken började strax innan lektionerna skulle börja på Great Mills High, en 1500-elevskola 65 miles söder om Washington, D.C. Cameron sade Rollins var beväpnad med en Glock, halvautomatisk pistol när han sköt en 16-årig kvinnlig elev i en korridor. En 14-årig manlig elev sköts också. "Vår skolresursofficer blev varnad för händelserna", sade Cameron. "Han engagerade skytten och sköt en runda; därefter sköt skytten en runda också." Cameron sa att det inte var klart om skytten sköt sig själv eller sköt mot resursofficeren, identifierad som vicesheriff Blaine Gaskill. Den kvinnliga eleven lades in på sjukhus i kritiskt tillstånd, och den manliga eleven var i stabilt skick, sade Cameron. Gaskill, som inte var skadad, följde protokoll, Cameron tillade. "Detta är vad vi förbereder oss för, detta är vad vi ber att vi aldrig kommer att behöva göra," sade Cameron. "Att detta inte kan ske här är inte längre en föreställning."

"Vi är ett mycket tätt sammansvetsat samhälle", sade Cameron. "Så nu ber jag vårt samhälle att be för offren." Skottlossningen ägde rum mindre än en vecka efter att några Great Mills-elever förenat sig med tiotusentals studenter över hela landet i en utbrytning för att protestera mot vapenvåld. Utrymningen leddes av överlevande från Alla hjärtans dag framfart på Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School i Parkland, Fla., som dödade 17 elever och fakultet. Parklandstonåringar uttryckte solidaritet tisdag med studenterna på Great Mills på Twitter. "Mindre än en vecka sedan Great Mills High School elever gick ut med oss för att protestera vapen våld ... nu de upplever det för sig själva," tweetade Jaclyn Corin. "Staten i vårt land är äcklig - jag är så ledsen, Great Mills." Tweetade Emma González: "Vi finns här för er, studenter av Great Mills tillsammans kan vi förhindra att detta någonsin händer igen." Skottlossningen skedde också mindre än en månad efter att Great Mills High Schools rektor Jake Heibel berättat för föräldrar att tjänstemän hade utrett hot om en eventuell skottlossning. Polisen kontaktades, och hotet var "inte bekräftat", berättade Heibel för föräldrar. På tisdagen placerades skolan på nedstängning direkt efter skottlossningen. "Det har skett en skottlossning på Great Mills High School", sade skoldistriktet i ett uttalande på sin hemsida. "Skolan är låst (och) händelsen är innesluten. Sheriffens kontor är på plats, ytterligare information att följa." Dussintals polisbilar omringade skolan en kall, regnig dag. St Mary's County Sheriff's Office uppmanade föräldrar att samlas på en annan skola i countyt för att återförenas med sina barn. Byrån för alkohol, tobak och skjutvapen sa att specialagenter från Baltimore och Hyattsville anslöt sig till utredningen. Gov. Larry Hogan sa att delstatspolisen var redo att ge stöd och att hans kontor övervakade situationen. "Våra böner är med elever, skolpersonal och första respondenter", sade han. Jill Morris, ordförande i länets utbildningsförening, kallade skyttet "devastating" för skolans elever. "Vi är fast beslutna att ge allt stöd och all tröst vi kan till våra kollegor och grannar ... medan vi arbetar tillsammans mot en dag då ingen skolgemenskap någonsin behöver uppleva denna typ av tragedi", sade hon.

Last Wednesday, students from Great Mills High School in Southern Maryland joined a nationwide school walkout to call for an end to gun violence and more security measures in school. On Tuesday morning, the same students were evacuated from their own school after the shooting had erupted. The suspected gunman, 17-year-old student Austin Wyatt Rollins, was declared dead hours later in a local hospital. Two teenage students were treated for their injuries — one of them, Jaelynn Willey, was in critical condition — and a school resource officer shooting at the gunman was unharmed. “This is what we train for. This is what we're preparing for and this is what we pray we never have to do," said St Mary County Sheriff Tim Cameron. “And this day we realized our worst nightmare that our greatest asset – our children – was attacked in a bastion of safety and security, one of our schools.” The entire incident took place in less than a minute at 7:55 a.m. in a hall at Great Mills, a school 900 miles south of Baltimore that records about 1,600 students. Cameron said Rollins shot a Glock 9-millimeter gun at a 14-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl, who was later identified as Willey. There is "an indication that an earlier relationship existed between the shooter and the female victim," Cameron said, an angle that investigators were pursuing Tuesday. The school's resource officer, deputy first class Blaine Gaskill, responded quickly to the stage and “engaged” the shooter, Cameron said. As Gaskill shot at Rollins, Rollins “almost simultaneously” shot his gun, Cameron said. Investigators are still trying to determine which bullets hit which individuals. Willey suffered life-threatening injuries and was in critical condition at the University of Maryland Prince George’s Hospital Center, while the 14-year-old boy was in good condition at MedStar St Mary’s Hospital. Three people were injured in a shootout at Great Mills High School in Southern Maryland on Tuesday morning, according to a countytalesman. Officers from several agencies help with the investigation of the shooting, which includes searching a car and a home, searching social media accounts, interviewing witnesses, reviewing footage from surveillance cameras, and tracking the ownership of the gun used by the student. Cameron said there were no clear warning signs on social media prior to the shooting, but investigators still needed to take a deeper look. The St. Marys County Sheriff’s Office urged everyone with information about the incident to contact the FBI. Gaskill, the school's resource officer, was wearing a uniform at the time of the incident. He's been with the sheriff for almost six years, after four years as a correctional officer. He has been appointed to Great Mills as a school resource officer since the beginning of the school year. Cameron praised Gaskill for reacting quickly on stage. He said all his deputy sheriffs have been trained in how to react to active shooters situations as a single officer, instead of waiting to gather a team. “You go to the sound of gunfire,” he said. Deputies, school nursing staff and others provided first aid to the three teenagers who were shot, including by applying a tourniquet and performing CPR, Cameron said. Senior Terrence Rhames stood with his friends outside their first class when he heard a shot. He immediately knew what the loud rift meant. He started running, heading to a bathroom on the first floor before thinking, "This is a dead end." He turned instead of sprinting towards the nearest exit. Out of the corner of his eye Rhames said, he saw a girl fall. “I just thank God I’m sure,” said Rhames, 18. “I just want to know who did it and who was injured.” The parents were asked to meet their children on a reunion site on the Leonardtown High School campus, where advisors and other support staff were on hand. Lexington Park resident Shonita Somerville said she had left her 11-class daughter when she received a call from her that there was a shooting at school. “She walked in the hallway and said she heard a shot and kids running and crying and police running in with their guns,” Somerville said. Somerville and her daughter were reunited two hours later. “I never thought anything like this would happen here. St Mary's is a small little place. Now I can say: ‘ Don’t you think that would happen? It can happen to anyone, ” said Somerville. No one opened the door on Tuesday afternoon at Rollins' home in Lexington Park. Toni Foreman, who lives across the street, said she was shocked to learn that Rollins may have been involved in the shooting. He would often go her son, 13-year-old Ivan Foreman, home after school, and only last week, the two boys played catch, she said. "I didn't know he had any guns," she said. "He was a very good kid." She hesitated to say she regretted having Rollins look at her son. "I don't know what the situation was like," she said. "I wish he'd asked for help." "He just couldn't handle the situation," whatever it was that worried him, Ivan chirped in. Mostly Foreman said she felt grief for Rollin's family and the two victims. "My heart goes out to all the families involved," she said. "They're all victims." The Great Mills shooting comes just over a month after a deadly rampage in a Florida high school. Seventeen people died in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, catalyzing a national conversation about gun violence in schools. Last Wednesday, Great Mills students took part in the "schoolwalkout" on the one month anniversary of Parkland shooting. The students demanded an end to gun violence and more school security measures. Mikki Braley, 14, was among more than 100 Great Mills students who left the class last week. The same students were evacuated from class on Tuesday. “I think it’s crazy,” she said. “Just a week ago we protested against this, and now we have a shooting in our school.” One of the student activists from Marjory Stoneman Douglas tweeted his anger over the Great Mills event. “Less than a week since Great Mills High School students went out with us to protest gun violence...now they experience it for themselves,” Jaclyn Corin wrote. "The state of our country is disgusting -- I'm so sorry, Great Mills." Great Mills High School will be closed Wednesday, and potentially until the end of the week, said St Mary County Public Schools superintendent James Scott Smith.

(Photo: JIM WATSON/AFP/Getty Images) A student gunman opened fire Tuesday at a high school in southern Maryland, injuring two students before an armed school resources officer intervened, authorities say. The gunman, identified as Austin Wyatt Rollins, 17, was killed, but St Mary's County Sheriff Tim Cameron said it was not immediately clear whether the school's officer fired the deadly shot or whether the gunman killed himself. The attack began shortly before classes would begin at Great Mills High, a 1500-student school 65 miles south of Washington, D.C. Cameron said Rollins was armed with a Glock, semi-automatic gun when he shot a 16-year-old female student in a corridor. A 14-year-old male student was also shot. "Our school resource officer was warned of the events," said Cameron. "He engaged the shooter and shot a round; then the shooter shot a round as well." Cameron said it wasn't clear if the shooter shot himself or shot at the resource officer, identified as Deputy Blaine Gaskill. The female student was hospitalized in critical condition, and the male student was in stable condition, Cameron said. Gaskill, who was not injured, followed protocol, Cameron added. "This is what we're preparing for, this is what we pray we'll never have to do," said Cameron. "That this cannot happen here is no longer a performance."

The evacuation was led by survivors of Valentine's Day rampage at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., who killed 17 students and faculty. Parkland teens expressed solidarity Tuesday with students at Great Mills on Twitter.
