A second person, 18, in police custody, is believed to be a possible accomplice in Friday's shooting, a law enforcement official says.

Ten people were killed and several others injured in a shooting Friday morning at a high school in the southeastern Texas city of Santa Fe, a law enforcement official said on condition of anonymity.

Gunfire erupted at Santa Fe High School, about 20 miles outside Galveston, not long after classes began around 7:30 a.m. CT, officials said. Authorities later found explosive devices -- including pipe bombs and pressure cookers -- in and near the school, the law enforcement official said.

A male suspect, believed to be a student, has been arrested in the shooting, and a second person -- also believed to be a student -- has been detained as well, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said. Live updates on the school shooting Two law enforcement officers are among the injured, according to the source who spoke anonymously. One man is in critical condition with a gunshot wound in one of his arms, said David Marshall, chief nursing officer for University of Texas Medical Branch hospital. This is the 22nd US school shooting since the beginning of the year, and the third instance in eight days in which a gunman was on a school campus. Witnesses described students running from the school as they heard gunshots; they also described hearing an alarm at the school, though the sequence of events wasn't immediately clear.

Very interesting. Dumb people do not understand context and history. And dumb people just point out the superficial obvious. Yes, Loan killed someone. Yes, the context made the killing justified and reasonable in a third world setting.
