Via the Daily Mail:

At least three people have been injured after the shooting at Great Mills High school in Great Mills, Maryland Tuesday morning, according to WJLA.

Sources tell the ABC affiliate that the shooter is a student and is among the three injured. The two other injured were also students. A school resource officer is said to have helped end the shooting.

Shortly after 8:30am, the St Mary’s County Sheriff confirmed there had been a shooting at the school, but said the situation was ‘contained’.

Here’s another really interesting tidbit from the Daily Mail. Shortly after the Parkland shooting, parents of students at Great Mills High reached out and said their kids had heard of similar threats against THEIR school on Snapchat.

Less than a week after the Parkland shooting last month, Great Mills High parents reached out to local outlet TheBayNet.com, saying their kids had heard of similar threats against the school on Snapchat.

Dr Jake Heibel, the school’s principal, issued a statement after the report, saying that the concerns stemmed from videos showing two student in the hallways during the changing of classes mentioning a ‘shooting’ and ‘school’.

‘We interviewed the student with our SRO, viewed video, interviewed other students, and contacted central office. The threat was not substantiated,’ Heibel said.

I have no idea if that threat and this incident are linked in any way, but it’s out there.

We’ll continue to update you as we find out more.
