A teenager in South Carolina killed his father at home, then went to a nearby elementary school and shot two boys and a female teacher with a handgun on Wednesday, according to local authorities.
The teenager, whose name was not immediately released, was taken into custody around 2 p.m. at Townville Elementary School in Anderson County, about 108 miles northeast of Atlanta.
One of the students was shot in the leg, one was shot in the foot, and the teacher was shot in the shoulder, Capt. Garland Major of the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office said. The conditions of the victims were not immediately available. All were receiving medical care.
“We are heartbroken about this senseless act of violence, but we are so thankful for the quick response by law enforcement and school employees who prevented further injuries,” said Joanne Avery, the superintendent of Anderson School District 4.
