CHICAGO: At least eight people were killed when a male student opened fire at a Texas high school on Friday, a local sheriff said, as President Donald Trump expressed his "heartbreak" over the "horrific" shooting. Friday's shooting took place at Santa Fe High School in the city of the same name, located about 50 kilometres southeast of Houston. Earlier this year, 17 students and staff were killed in a shooting at a Florida high school -- a massacre that prompted survivors to launch a grassroots campaign against gun violence. "There was someone that walked in with a shotgun and started shooting, and this girl got shot in the leg," an eyewitness identified as Nikki told local television station KTRK. She said students fled the school in a panic, and several other students told local media they heard multiple gunshots.
