Here’s more from NBC:

“The male student engaged the victim in the cafeteria and fired several shots,” he [Ellis County Sheriff Charles Edge] said. The weapon, a .380 caliber semi-automatic handgun, “was recovered at the scene and is in evidence,” he added.

The victim, a 15-year-old girl, was airlifted to a local hospital, he said. He declined to comment on her condition.
