A 16-year-old student allegedly shot a 15-year-old boy during an "altercation" in the boys' bathroom at Joppatowne High School in Joppa, Maryland, on Friday, authorities said.
The 15-year-old was attended to by school nurses and the principal, and then airlifted to a trauma center where he is in serious condition, Harford County Sheriff Jeff Gahler said at a news conference.
The 16-year-old suspect left the school and fled to nearby houses, the sheriff said. He was apprehended "within minutes" thanks to community members, Gahler said.
The shooting unfolded on the suspect's first day at the school, though it's now four days into the school year, Gahler said.
