Police: 2 shot at Virginia high school, suspect in custody

Associated Press  

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — Two students were wounded in a shooting at a Virginia high school and a suspect is in custody, police said Monday. A 17-year-old boy was shot in the side of his face at Heritage High School and a 17-year-old girl was shot in the leg, Newport News police Chief Steve Drew said at a news conference. George Parker, superintendent of Newport News Public Schools, said the high school does random searches for guns. “Just seeing the faces of our students and how afraid they were under these circumstances, and our staff, who are traumatized.. No one would want to go through these circumstances.” Video from the scene showed tactical units arriving at the scene, parents on sidewalks talking on cellphones as crime scene tape stretched across portions of the school parking lot.
