ST. LOUIS — A 16-year-old girl and a 61-year-old woman were killed by a gunman in a shooting at Central Visual and Performing Arts High School in St. Louis, Missouri, on Monday morning, according to authorities.
Seven other victims, all 15 or 16 years old, were hospitalized with injuries including gunshot wounds, police said. All were currently listed in stable condition, according to police.Police identified the suspect as 19-year-old Orlando Harris, who graduated from the high school last year.
St. Louis Police Commissioner Michael Sack said,"This could have been much worse -- the individual had almost a dozen 30-round, high-capacity magazines on him. So that's a whole lot of victims there." Authorities did not say how the gunman entered the building but police stressed that the school's doors were locked.
"It's very easy to get guns," Sack said."I've said it before -- the gun laws in Missouri [are] very broad ... they can carry them openly down any street, and there's really nothing we can do.""They were bright eyed, bushy-tailed. We laughed, we sang, we danced. And now to be here for such a devastating and traumatic situation breaks my heart," she said.
