A police officer was wounded in a shooting at a high school in Knoxville, Tennessee, authorities said Monday. Officials said the person who shot the officer, a student at Austin-East Magnet High School, died at the scene when police returned fire.
At 3:15 p.m. local time, police responded to a report of a male who was possibly armed in the school. Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director David Rausch said police found the suspect in a school restroom. Police ordered him out, but he refused.
Rausch said that as police entered the restroom, he "reportedly fired shots, striking an officer." One officer returned fire, and the student was pronounced dead at the scene. There are no other known gunshot victims, police said.
The wounded officer, who has not been identified, is conscious and is expected to survive.
Students who were not involved in the incident were sent home, said Bob Thomas, the superintendent of Knox County Schools. Prior to Monday's violence, four students have been fatally shot this year alone.
