SEATTLE (AP) — A student who was shot at a Seattle high school on Tuesday morning has died and a suspect is in custody, officials said.
Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell confirmed during an afternoon press conference that the student died after being treated at a hospital. The victim was not identified and police have not said whether the suspect is a student.
