Comment on Three wounded, teen in custody in shooting at South Carolina school

TOWNVILLE, S.C. – A teenager opened fire at a South Carolina elementary school Wednesday, wounding two students and a teacher before the suspect was taken into custody, a law enforcement officer said. Anderson County Coroner Greg Shore told the Anderson Independent Mail that authorities were responding to a death “believed to be related” to the school shooting about 1½ miles away. Shore also said the students do not appear to have life-threatening injuries. The unidentified officer who spoke to reporters on live television said all other students at the Townville Elementary School were safe following the shooting and that parents are being told to pick up their children at a nearby church. Television images showed officers swarming the school.
