WFAA/Channel 8 reporter interviewed one person on scene who reported that one of the metal detectors at the school was not working, and possibly that was how a weapon was taken into the facility.

There was a previous shooting, last year on April 12th, at the same campus.
This is in the South Central Patrol district. DISD PD units (mostly encrypted) are on scene, along with other law enforcement personnel. Dallas Fire Rescue has a number of units on scene as well, but it appears that the number of victims was, fortunately, very limited.
