Once inside the gym, the boy pulled out a shotgun he reportedly had concealed a inside a band instrument case and opened fire on one 11-year-old boy and one 13-year-old girl. Both were rushed to University Medical Center in Lubbock, Texas, with the boy in critical condition while the girl suffered serious injuries.
