The shooter was last spotted on the west side of a three-story building on campus. He was wearing a black hat, a burgundy shirt and black pants.
Some students have been seen sprinting from the building when possible, as shown above, while some have been led out in single file, orderly fashion by law enforcement or school officials.
Law enforcement on the scene is heavily armed, with a tank reportedly on school premises.
ABC News spoke to several parents who are at the school already. Students began texting and posting about the incident shortly after 3 p.m. One mother said that her daughter was texting her from inside a locked classroom, saying “she’s terrified.”
