A student opened fire on officers responding to a report of a possible gunman at a Tennessee high school Monday, and police shot back and killed him, authorities said. The shooting wounded an officer and comes as the community reels from off-campus gun violence that has left three other students dead this year.

Police found the student in a bathroom at Austin-East Magnet High School in Knoxville, a city about 180 miles (290 kilometers) east of Nashville, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director David B. Rausch said at a news conference. They ordered the student to come out, but he wouldn’t comply, and that’s when he reportedly opened fire, Rausch said. Police fired back.

The student died at the school, and the officer was taken into surgery after being shot at least once in the upper leg, authorities said. The officer was expected to recover, and no one else was hurt. It wasn’t yet clear why the student brought a gun to school or why he fired at officers.

Another shooting in a school. A gunfight in the boys' room. At least this kid saved us the trouble of going any further with this case.

Wait until the activists and media really get involved in this. It will become black kid killed by police while just taking a dump. And. Going to the bathroom is not a death sentence.

When they come to school with both a gun & an agenda, it's a lot more than just a kid taking a dump. But being typically conservative, you don't see a problem here. Great. I'm not surprised. It's constantly amazing that you folks just don't get it.

That cop must have thought he's judge, jury and executioner.

Uhh... There was a gunfight, like the old west. The cops 'won'.

School shootings are back, and summary executions by the police are back. The pre-COVID era seems to be making a comeback.
 
The TV station confused this shooting with another Tenn shooting that was happening live at the same time. Only four days after the governor was bragging about a new law allowing most adults to carry without a permit!

Yay for deregulation!

Oh, that's rarely stopped.the media and activists.

I'm sure this kids mother will come out and say, he was a good kid and didn't even have a gun.

I can just imagine how European perceptions of America have changed over recent years. The British Empire must be glad to be rid of us.

Which of those two shootings involved an adult lawfully carrying a firearm without a permit?

Sounds like a tough neighborhood.

It's 60 million people on an island. A world power as a matter of respect for history. No longer in the EU, a tiny state of little significance. For it to not be rid of us would be for it to have international significance beyond news about the royals. The sun has set on shitty isle.
 
has it been determined that the death was not self inflicted?

Why don't you name for us one time anyone has defended a school shooter as the victim. Just one example.

You made an idiotic comparison because you're dishonest and have an agenda.
