(Texas) – Between eight and 10 people have been killed in a shooting by a student at a Texas high school, say police.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez told reporters the majority of the dead at Santa Fe High School were students.
The suspect in custody has been identified as 17-year-old Dimitrios Pagourtzis, according to CBS News.
Police said that explosive devices had been found at the school, which is 40 miles (65km) south of Houston, and in surrounding areas.
The death toll makes this the deadliest school shooting since the one in February at Parkland, Florida. That attack left 17 dead and spawned a nationwide youth-led campaign for gun control.
