At what appeared to be an impromptu press conference shortly after 1 p.m., Dallas ISD Schools Police Department confirmed that one student was injured in the shooting incident and has received treatment.

Entrepreneur Mario Nawfal reported on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that police confirmed one person had been shot, but there was no word initially on the extent of injuries or the victim’s identity.

Authorities were continuing to sweep the campus to ensure there were no additional threats to students or school employees.

Wilmer-Hutchins High School is a part of the Dallas Independent School District and is located on Langdon Road, near Interstate 45 and Interstate 20.

The school district put out a statement on X shortly after noon on Friday.

“All students and team members are safe at Wilmer-Hutchins High School as we have initiated our safety protocol,” Dallas ISD said. “Police are on site to ensure our school remains secure. At this time, we ask for everyone to refrain from coming to the campus, as we limit access inside.”

A heavy police presence was seen surrounding the campus, according to WFAA, with ambulances and fire trucks present in the school parking lot.
