At least eight people are reported to have been killed after a shotgun-wielding shooter opened fire at an art class at his own high school.

A federal official told KHOU11 that there had been ‘multiple student fatalities’ at Santa Fe High School after Friday morning’s shooting, with the number killed to be at least eight.

A school district spokesman said around 10:15am ET:

‘The situation is active but has been contained, there are confirmed injuries.’ They did not comment on the extent of the injuries.

Sheriff’s deputies said shortly after 10am ET that the shooter has been contained, and is now believed to be in custody.

One eyewitness reported that he heard seven shots, with a student pulling the school’s fire alarm after seeing the shotgun-wielding shooter enter the building.
