Father says his son will 'remember this forever'
Police arrested a suspected gunman who killed a student Wednesday during a shooting at a North Carolina high school hours after he fled the scene, officials said.The takedown occurred following a shooting at Mount Tabor High School in Winston-Salem. Authorities responded just before 12:10 p.m. to reports of a shooting where they were informed that a student was wounded and a suspect, also believed to be a student, was on the loose, an emotional Winston-Salem police Chief, Catrina Thompson, told reporters.
The school immediately went into lockdown, she said. Authorities identified the victim as William Chavis Raynard Miller Jr. They did not divulge his age or his year in high school.
"Medical responders began life-saving measures and the injured student was transported to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, where he succumbed to his injuries," Thompson said.
"We have a mother and a family that will not be able to hug their child tonight," she added.
No other students were harmed but one had a seizure as the events unfolded, the chief said. She also dispelled rumors that more than one student had been shot.
The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office announced that the suspect had been taken into custody shortly after officials briefed the media on Wednesday's events. The suspect's identity was not released.
