A student was killed and a second was injured Wednesday in what was called an accidental shooting at a high school in Birmingham, Alabama, authorities said.

The shooting occurred at Huffman High School, in east Birmingham, Police Chief Orlando Wilson said. The students were rushed to University of Alabama-Birmingham Hospital, where one of them, a 17-year-old girl, was pronounced dead, Wilson said.

The other student, a 17-year-old boy, was treated and released, police said Thursday morning.

Wilson said the incident was being treated as an "accidental shooting at this particular time." He later added, "This is not a situation where someone came in and randomly fired from the outside."

Wilson wouldn't discuss how two people could have been shot by accident, but he said he hadn't been told of any argument or threat.

No other details were immediately available."




WTF!?

Police took a "person of interest" into custody Thursday after an apparently accidental shooting killed a 17-year-old girl at an Alabama high school classroom a day earlier.

Birmingham Interim Police Chief Orlando Wilson said investigators are reviewing surveillance video for clues and interviewing students and staff to figure out exactly what led to Wednesday afternoon’s shooting at dismissal time at Huffman High School.

"We consider it accidental until the investigation takes us elsewhere," Wilson said. "We have a lot of unanswered questions."

In a statement issued Thursday morning, police said they took a person of interest into custody and the Jefferson County district attorney’s office is reviewing the case for possible charges.

"Detectives of the Birmingham Police Department have been working through the night reviewing evidence, video and statements on the tragic incident that took place at Huffman High School yesterday. Due to their diligent work a person of interest has been taken into custody," the police statement read.

Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin said the young woman killed was a senior, about to turn 18 and had been accepted at college, with "aspirations and dreams to be a nurse."

"We are not just talking about some person; we’re talking about losing a part of our future. Our hearts are heavy," the mayor said.

The chief said he had not been told of any kind of argument, fight or struggle that preceded the shooting. A 17-year-old boy was also wounded in the shooting.

"We’re not saying he shot her; we’re not saying he didn’t shoot her," the chief said. "We’re asking those questions ourselves so we can determine exactly what happened."

Lame, it's better to shoot through a crowd of people to defend yourself.

Moved.
