Jacki Kelley, spokesperson for the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, confirmed the suspect used a revolver and that the attack occurred both inside and outside the school building. “I can tell you that I don't believe law enforcement fired any rounds today.

The first 911 call came in at 12:24 p.m., and law enforcement quickly responded. “We’re law enforcement. Police and fire just show up. When you hear the words ‘active shooter,’ and you know that there are kids involved, we’re coming,” Kelley added.
By 12:40 p.m., the sheriff’s office had issued an “active assailant” alert and conducted a room-to-room search of the school. More than 100 officers from across the region joined the operation.
