SEATTLE (AP) — A 17-year-old student was shot in the parking lot of a Seattle high school during lunchtime Thursday, officials said.
Seattle Public Schools said in a statement that the Garfield High student was taken to Harborview Medical Center.
He was in serious condition as of the afternoon, according to hospital spokesperson Susan Gregg.
Seattle Police posted on the social media platform X around 12:45 p.m. that officers were investigating a shooting at an address matching that of the high school.
Garfield was temporarily placed in lockdown, and two nearby schools were ordered to shelter in place, officials said.
Police said a male suspect of high school age fled after the shooting and has not been located. It was not clear if he is also a student at Garfield.
The school is east of downtown in Seattle’s Central District. In March a student was shot in the leg outside the school while she waited at a bus stop, The Seattle Times reported.
