A student has died in the US following an apparent self-inflicted gunshot after shooting and injuring another student at West Texas high school.
Brewster County Sheriff Ronny Dodson tells radio station KVLF that a female student shot another female student inside Alpine High School on Thursday.
Dodson says the injured student ran outside seeking help and was taken to a hospital with injuries that weren't considered life threatening.
He says a law enforcement officer also suffered injuries that weren't life threatening, but no details have been released.
Earlier on Thursday morning police in the West Texas town of Alpine reported an "active shooter" situation at a high school and schools were locked down amid the search for a suspect.
