Classes are cancelled at a Louisiana high school where a student was shot to death and two others were injured, authorities said. The names and ages of the victims of the shooting at St. Helena College & Career Academy in Greensburg have not been released. Law enforcement officials said they arrested the suspected shooter, a 14-year-old student Tuesday after the shooting. "This is such a senseless tragedy and my prayers go out to the families of all involved and to the St. Helena community that were affected by this tragedy," Sheriff Nat Williams said in a post on Facebook.
His office hadn`t released the charges the suspect faces, or information about the events that led up to the shooting. Williams did not immediately return a telephone message from The Associated Press. According to deputies, the shooting happened about 3 pm Tuesday in the school`s back parking lot. Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards released a statement about the shooting, noting that the Greensburg community is "close to my home and my heart" having represented the area for eight years while in the state legislature. "Donna and I are praying for the families affected by this awful act, and for the entire St. Helena community," Edwards said.
