This is the school where my daughter just started her senior year. I have received texts from her saying she’s ok.According to the Banks County Sheriff's Office, a student shot himself at the school.
The student was airlifted to a hospital, said a school spokesperson, who earlier had called the incident a suicide. There were no reports of other injuries
She also indicated that this Sunday would have been this young man’s 17th birthday. His death has not been confirmed but there unconfirmed reports that he did not survive.
Banks County Georgia is a rural community north of Atlanta. Lots of farm kids grow up there and hunting and guns are a part of life for many of them.
Prayers to all involved including my daughter who I know will feel the emotional scars from this for a long time.
