Police say a shooter opened fire at a high school in Washington state today (Wednesday, September 13, 2017), killing one person and injuring at least three others. Brian Schaeffer of the Spokane Fire Department told reporters that one person died at Freeman High School in the tiny town of Rockford, south of Spokane, and three injured victims were taken to a hospital. Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center and Children’s Hospital received three pediatric patients, spokeswoman Nicole Stewart said. They were in stable condition, and family members were with them, she said. Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich said at the scene that the shooter was in custody. Worried parents rushed to the school in the town of about 500 people near the Idaho border, about 25 miles southeast of Spokane. The two-lane road into town was clogged as people sped to the school. Cheryl Moser said her son, a freshman at Freeman High School, called her from a classroom after hearing shots fired. “He called me and said, ‘Mom there are gunshots.’ He sounded so scared. I’ve never heard him like that,” Moser said. “You never think about something happening like this at a small school.” Ambulances and a Lifeflight helicopter were sent to the school. Governor Jay Inslee said in a statement that “all Washingtonians are thinking of the victims and their families, and are grateful for the service of school staff and first responders working to keep our students safe.”
