Police arrived within seven minutes after being alerted by a 911 call by a teacher, who took him into custody. Authorities have currently been unable to pinpoint the motivation behind the shooting but ruled out race as both the shooter and victims were white. The other boy and a female teacher were treated and released, said Ross Norton, a spokesman for AnMed Health Medical Centre. Authorities said the home-schooled suspect called his grandmother who went to his home and found the boy’s father had been shot. South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is due to meet with law enforcement officials in the area this evening, Jones said.
