Police said there were nine people with injuries in the shooting. One of the victims killed in the shooting was identified as a health teacher at the school.
A gunman entered a south St. Louis high school on Monday with a “long gun” and multiple high-capacity magazines, shooting a teenage girl and a health teacher to death and injuring several others before police shot and killed him, authorities said.
Police identified the suspect late Monday as Orlando Harris, 19, a graduate last year of the school, Central Visual and Performing Arts High School, at Arsenal Street and South Kingshighway near Tower Grove Park.
