A high school shooter who shot his ex-girlfriend at school had been killed by a staff

News24xx.com -  The name of the shooting secondary school was named, who shot his "ex-girlfriend" at school before being shot himself by one of the employees. Honorary pupil Austin Wyatt Rollins, 17, died on Tuesday in the hospital, less than three hours after the opening of the fire in the corridor of the Great Mills High School in Maryland.

He died after encountering a school security officer, Blaine Gaskin, who also worked as deputy sheriff and ran to the crime scene within a minute of the first shot.

The officers had not yet told whether it was precisely the shot of Gaskin that killed Rollins. The Nascar fan Rollins lived in Lexington Park, Maryland, along with his father Rocky Rollins, a former US Air Force employee.

Sheriff of the county of Saint Mary Tim Cameron said at a press conference that Rollins is a former boyfriend of a 16-year-old girl, whom he shot. She remains in hospital in critical condition, while a 14-year-old boy, who was also shot, is said to be in stable condition.

After the incident, Gaskin was recognized as a hero for his decisive actions. Sheriff Cameron said: "When the shooting took place, our school security officer, who was at school, received disturbing information about the event and the shots. "He caught up with the shooter and grabbed him. He fired at the gunner; at the same time the shooter also shot. "
