Student commits suicide in front of 150 classmates
JaJuan Holmes, an 18-year-old student at Davidson High School in Mobile, Alabama, walked into the school’s gym where 150 students were gathered, pulled out a handgun, shot once into the ceiling before fatally shooting himself.
The school immediately went into lockdown, but the lockdown ended after police determined there was no further threat. Police believe the young man acted on his own.
School officials allowed students to be checked out of school by their parents today, but students cannot leave unless a guardian signs them out, but the school will remain open for the students who are not signed out early.
Classes continued through the day at and grief counselors are on campus to help students, faculty and staff get through this tragedy. Mobile Police Chief Phillip Garrett says since there is no other threat to students, classes will be held as scheduled Friday.
