At least four dead and 9 injured in shooting at a high school in the U.S.

Reports indicate that during a shooting at a high school in Georgia, USA, at least four people were killed and dozens more injured. This shooting occurred on Wednesday, September 14, at Apalachee High School in the city of Winder, Georgia, and state officials have confirmed the deaths of four individuals and the injury of 9 others, who were transferred to the hospital. CNN reported that dozens were injured in the shooting, but not all of the injured suffered gunshot wounds, as some were injured while fleeing. Local police stated in a statement that one person has been arrested as a suspect in this incident. The police statement also indicated that the suspect is a 14-year-old student who killed two students and two teachers. Aerial images showed police forces rushing towards the school building. U.S. President Joe Biden expressed his condolences in a statement regarding the deaths of four individuals in this incident, stating that Americans can no longer accept such events as normal. He wrote in his statement: 'The return of students to schools, instead of creating a sense of joy, again reminds us of the horrifying reality of how gun violence tears apart our community. We can no longer consider this (the right to bear arms) as a normal matter.' The Barrow County police chief did not confirm any deaths in his initial press conference, only referring to 'several injured.' He described the shooting on Wednesday as 'an evil act.' A student who witnessed the incident told ABC that he was in chemistry class when he heard gunfire: 'The teacher opened the door, and another teacher ran in and told him that an armed intruder was in the school and to close the door.' He said that while students and teachers were gathered in the room, someone knocked on the classroom door and shouted several times to open it, and when the knocking stopped, more gunfire and screams were heard. Reuters reports that the United States has witnessed hundreds of shootings in schools and colleges over the past two decades, the deadliest of which occurred in 2007 in Virginia, resulting in the deaths of over 30 people; a state that strongly supports the right to bear arms.
