A 17-year-old male student is in custody and officials are in the process of reuniting students and families, police say.ARLINGTON, Texas — The 18-year-old male student who was fatally shot outside Bowie High School in Arlington Wednesday has been identified as Etavion Barnes. Arlington Police Chief Al Jones said officers found Barnes unresponsive on the ground when they arrived to respond to a shots-fired call outside the portable buildings on the Bowie High School campus at about 2:50 p.m.
“Our hearts are with the entire Bowie High School community tonight, “ said Jones. “We, as a community, cannot tolerate this kind of violence. Not in our neighborhoods and not in our schools. Violence is never the right answer. We will continue to work in lock step with our partners at Arlington ISD to ensure our schools are safe spaces where students can learn."
"Honestly I'm at a loss for words tonight by this tragedy at Bowie High School this afternoon," Arlington ISD Superintendent Dr. Matt Smith said."Schools are supposed to be a place of learning and growth and this afternoon, it was interrupted by senseless violence.""When students return to class, they will have the full support of our counseling team for as long as needed," Smith said.
One student, just a month away from graduation, said she was hoping this would have never happened to her school.
