Authorities say a 16-year-old student has died after a shooting at a Knoxville high school. Knoxville chief deputy Bill Roehl said a suspect was taken into custody Thursday morning after the shooting shortly after 8 a.m. at the Central High School cafeteria. Authorities haven’t released the names of the victim, who died
at University of Tennessee Medical Center, or the suspect. Roehl
said no other students were injured. Roehl said the suspect and victim knew each other, adding, “This wasn’t a shooting that was a random act.” The school, which has about 1,400 students, was placed on lockdown after the shooting. School officials were preparing to release students one classroom at a time, then bus them to a church so they could be picked up by their parents.
