One student said the unidentified 12-year-old boy bumped into her as he made his way to the gym, apologizing to her when she scolded him for not being careful. Once inside the gym, the boy pulled out a shotgun he reportedly had concealed a inside a band instrument case and opened fire on one 11-year-old boy and one 13-year-old girl. Both were rushed to University Medical Center in Lubbock, Texas, with the boy in critical condition while the girl suffered serious injuries.
