ROSWELL, New Mexico— A gunman opened fire Tuesday at a school in New Mexico, leaving at least two children injured before being taken into custody.
Officials at a Texas hospital say a 14-year-old boy who was the likely target has been brought there in critical condition.
Eric Finley of University of Medical Center says a 13-year-old girl also might be en route in critical condition.
Finley says information from nurses treating the boy indicates he was the target of the shooter.
The shooting happened at Berrendo Middle School as classes were starting.
Roswell police say the suspected shooter was arrested, and the school was placed on lockdown. No details on the suspect were released.
Officials at Eastern New Mexico Regional Medical say two students were brought there after the shooting. It’s unclear if either of those victims was then transferred to Lubbock.
Roswell is perhaps best known as the site of an alleged UFO crash in 1947.
