Gunfire at Alabama high school kills girl, 17; police investigate whether it was accidental

A 17-year-old girl is dead and two other people are injured after shots were fired Wednesday at an Alabama high school, investigators said.

Birmingham Interim Police Chief Orlando Wilson confirmed at a news conference that one female student, 17, died, and a male student, also 17, is in critical but stable condition.

A school employee was also injured, AL.com reported, but it's unclear to what extent.

The incident — which involved at least two shots fired — just before 3:30 p.m. at Huffman High School was initially reported as "accidental" but officials, but the police chief said investigators are investigating whether it was intentionally discharged.

"Right now we have a lot of unanswered questions. This should not happen in schools," Wilson said. "We are asking questions from the staff, the students, anyone who was in that area."
