A student killed in an apparent gun accident at an Alabama high school Wednesday has been identified as 17-year-old Courtlin Lashawn Arrington (pictured above). She had just been accepted to college where she was to study nursing. Rest in Peace.
Another student was injured in the incident at Huffman High School in Birmingham. No details were immediately available about the arrest.
The person of interest has not been publicly identified and formal charges are pending as the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office reviews the case.
The school was closed Thursday as officials conducted a thorough safety sweep after metal detectors and other security measure failed to keep students from handling a gun in a classroom.
Birmingham Interim Police Chief Orlando Wilson said investigators are reviewing surveillance video for clues and interviewing students and staff to figure out exactly what led to the shooting.
"We consider it accidental until the investigation takes us elsewhere," Wilson said. "We have a lot of unanswered questions. There are so many unknowns at this time."
The gun was recovered, but Wilson declined to say who fired it.
