 Officials at University Medical Center in Lubbock, Texas, say a 14-year-old boy was flown there in critical condition and a 13-year-old girl was en route in serious condition. Police say the suspect opened fire at Berrendo Middle School as classes were starting for the day. Another student who witnessed the shooting said a male student shot the boy twice in the face and shot the girl in the arm. ADVERTISEMENTSkip 
 
 Eighth-grader Odiee Carranza said she was walking to the school gym when a boy bumped into her as he rushed past. She told him to be careful, and he apologized and continued on. He ran to the gym, where he pulled a gun out of a band instrument case and fired at the students. "Then he shot up in the sky, then dropped the gun, and then some teacher grabbed the kid that had the gun," Carranza said. Carranza described the shooter as a "smart kid and a nice kid." A statement from the state police said authorities responded at 8:11 a.m. Roswell police say the school was placed on lockdown, and the suspected shooter was arrested. Police said children were bused to a nearby mall, where parents could pick up them up. "I'm still scared to go back to school," Carranza said. Sixth-grade student Anyssa Vegara told the Albuquerque Journal she was talking to a security guard when she heard a shot. "I turned around, and all I saw was someone on the floor with their arm bleeding," Vegara told the Journal. ADVERTISEMENTSkip 
 
 She said the security guard ran to assist the injured student, and school officials ordered all the students to their classrooms. Eventually, she was able to text her mother, Monica Vegara. “In the 10 seconds that transpired from the time of this thing starting until the teacher had control of the weapon, there was no cowardice,” Burris said. Fawna Hendricks, whose son is a seventh-grader at Berrendo Middle School, told the newspaper she heard about the shooting on the radio. ADVERTISEMENTSkip 
 
 “Basically I jumped outta bed, threw on clothes, panicked,” Hendricks said. The girl’s condition was initially listed at critical, but it has been updated to satisfactory, according to the hospital. Employees who arrived early to work at United Drilling Inc., across the street from the school, heard no gunshots. She was sent to the parking lot of the Roswell Mall, where hundreds of parents had gathered. Two prayer services were scheduled for Tuesday night at Roswell's Calvary Baptist and First Baptist churches. Superintendent Tom Burris said the school’s faculty members had participated in “active shooter” training, and they responded appropriately today. ------

– Two kids were seriously injured today in a shooting at a middle school in Roswell, NM, and authorities say the shooting suspect—another student—is in custody. A 12-year-old boy and a 13-year-old girl were airlifted to a Texas hospital, KOB reports. The boy was in critical condition and the girl was upgraded to serious condition. The suspect is a 12-year-old boy, and initial reports suggest that the wounded boy was his intended target. Witnesses say he was shot in the face, reports the Albuquerque Journal. Police haven't speculated about a motive. The AP has this: "Eighth-grader Odiee Carranza said she was walking to the school gym when a boy bumped into her as he rushed past. She told him to be careful, and he apologized and continued on. He ran to the gym, where he pulled a gun out of a band instrument case and fired at the students." She described the suspect as a "smart kid and a nice kid." Gov. Susana Martinez says a teacher at Berrendo Middle School approached the shooter and convinced him to put his shotgun down after the initial shots.
