1Dead, 3 Injured in shooting at Freeman High School; one student dead; suspect detained
From the Spokane Spoksman-Review ....
One student was killed and three others were injured in a shooting Wednesday morning at Freeman High School south of Spokane, and the sole suspect was detained.
“The shooter is in the back seat of a patrol car right now,” Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich said at the scene, where students, parents and teachers had been corralled into school buildings after the shots rang out around 10 a.m.
Spokane Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer said three of the victims were immediately transported to Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center.
At about noon, hospital officials said they had three pediatric patients from the shooting, all in stable condition, and that no other shooting victims were expected. Hospital security and local law enforcement were directing traffic in the area.
