BELLAIRE, Texas — A student was shot to death Tuesday at a Texas high school, and a suspect was arrested hours later, officials said.
Grenita Latham, interim superintendent of the Houston Independent School District, confirmed the shooting victim at Bellaire High School had died. She gave no other information and took no questions.
A suspect was arrested Tuesday night, according to a school district statement issued about 3 1/2 hours after the shooting. It provided no other details about where the shooting occurred in the school complex, whether the suspect was a student or what led to the arrest.
The district announced classes had been canceled Wednesday after Latham originally said they were going on as scheduled. Representatives of the district and Bellaire police did not immediately reply to messages from The Associated Press.
