A student has died and another was injured in a shooting outside of a school in Richfield, Minnesota, police said. The suspects fled the scene, and authorities are still looking for them.
Police responded to South Education Center Tuesday afternoon and found the two students on the sidewalk. They were taken to a local hospital, where one student died of his injuries. The other remains in critical condition, Richfield Police Chief Jay Henthorne said Tuesday at a press conference.
"Our hearts are with the families, students and the community impacted by this horrendous and tragic event," Henthorne said.
The school was placed on lockdown, as were nearby schools. Authorities did a sweep of the school and the surrounding area and determined there was no threat, the police chief said.
Superintendent Sandra Lewandowski of Intermediate District 287 said the building is currently being evacuated, and parents are en route to pick their children up from a reunification center.
"This is a terrible tragedy and loss," Lewandowski said. "We're deeply saddened by this incident and will do everything we can to support the families, classmates and staff in whatever way possible."
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said he has been briefed on the situation and that the state's department of public safety is in contact with local law enforcement to monitor the situation.
Local and federal officials are actively investigating the incident.
