Summary
One student was wounded in the leg after a bathroom fight between two ninth graders escalated into gunfire at Warner Robins High School on Wednesday afternoon.
A 14-year-old suspect fled campus but was captured about half a mile away around 3:20 p.m., while a school resource deputy reached the victim within seconds and applied tourniquets.
Houston County officials said the injury was not life-threatening; the shooting triggered a lockdown, a large police response and a controlled dismissal at 3 p.m.
Warner Robins High School will stay closed for the rest of the week, with staff only on Friday and crisis-support teams available before students return Monday.
