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. Garland Major of the Anderson County sheriff’s office said. “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. The father, identified as Jeffrey Osborne, 47, was found dead with a gunshot wound after a 911 call from family, according to Greg Shore, the Anderson County coroner. “We have searched the school,” said Taylor Jones, a spokesman for Anderson County Emergency Management.
