Injuries reported in Maryland school shooting
A sheriff’s spokeswoman says injuries have been reported after a shooting at a high school in southern Maryland.
St. Mary’s County sheriff’s spokeswoman Cpl. Julie Yingling says there are injuries Tuesday at Great Mills High School but she did not know how many or the severity of the injuries. She also says she had no information about fatalities.
Agents from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are headed to the scene.
The county sheriff says deputies are on the scene and that parents or guardians should stay away, going instead to Leonardtown High School to reunite with Great Mills students there.
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and Rep. Steny Hoyer tweet that they are monitoring reports and urged people to follow the instructions of local law enforcement at the scene.
