A student opened fire at a high school in Washington
state on Friday, wounding an unknown number of victims before killing
himself with a gun, the Seattle Times reported.
Local media reported that at
least two people were wounded in the shooting at Marysville-Pilchuck
High School north of Seattle and were being air-lifted to a local
hospital. Their condition was not immediately clear.
The Seattle Times, citing two
law-enforcement sources, said the suspected assailant was dead from a
self-inflicted gunshot wound.
A spokeswoman for the Marysville
Police Department confirmed to Reuters that there had been a shooting
at the school and that a "crisis was under way." She declined to give
any further information.
The Seattle Times said ambulances were staged around the school and
that police were searching the )campus room by room. (REUTERS
