Three students were shot and another was grazed at a Dallas high school in gunfire that was allegedly sparked by a dice game — almost one year to the day a student was injured in a classroom shooting.

One 17-year-old shot in the leg was among those injured while another teen was grazed as bullets flew at Wilmer-Hutchins High School on Tuesday that a student witness said was sparked by a dice game, according to NBC DFW. 

A suspect has been identified but is not yet in custody, Dallas Independent School District Police said, according to the outlet.

Police were called to Wilmer-Hutchins High School after receiving calls of several shots fired on the campus just after 1 p.m. local time, the outlet reported.

The wounded students — whose ages were between 15 and 18 — were taken to an area hospital by EMS with injuries that ranged from serious to not life-threatening, NBD DFW stated.

The Dallas Independent School District said the campus is now secure and parents could reunify with evacuated students, according to a statement posted to X.

Officials have not identified victims or announced whether a suspect is in custody — but one student who was nearby the incident claims to know the details.

“They said that they were playing a dice game, I guess that’s what it was over, I guess he lost his money, the boy that was shooting,” an 11th grader who was in a classroom where gunfire erupted told NBC DFW.

The student said that metal detectors were working and the clear-bag policy was in place on Tuesday — but the shooter, whose identity she appeared to know, did not abide by its clear backpack policy, telling the outlet that he used a brown bag.

School district police officials claimed that the gun did not get into the school during the regular morning bag-check.

“We do know that the gun did not come through during regular intake time. So it was not a failure of our staff, of our protocols, or the machinery that we have,” Dallas ISD Police Department Assistant Chief of Police Christina Smith said during a press conference.

Classes at Wilmer-Hutchins will be canceled for the rest of the week, and the school will provide mental health counselors to students and staff, Dr. Stephanie Elizalde, superintendent of Dallas ISD, added.

“You don’t ever just get used to this, and I’m very aware of that,” she said. “It certainly weighs very heavy on my heart. But I can’t begin to imagine, as a parent myself, I’m trying to put myself in those shoes.”

Officials were unwilling to comment on how the weapon was brought into the supposedly well-secured school and did not provide any information on what led to the gunfire.

LaTara Dobbin, the mother of a freshman boy, told the outlet that her son jumped from a classroom window when the shots rang out — escaping to a nearby elementary school.

“This is going on too much at this school. Last year my oldest son was a senior here, and there was a shooting. Now he’s here with same thing going on. It’s ridiculous,” Dobbin said.

“How did he even get in the school with a gun?”

Wilmer-Hutchins High School supposedly reinvigorated its bag-checking policies after last year’s classroom shooting.

In that incident, a 17-year-old student shot another 17-year-old in the leg with a handgun on April 12, 2024, which led students and parents to question security procedures at the school, according to Fox4News.

Students staged a classroom walkout after the shooting to protest the school’s lax security policies around bag-checking.
