Two people were shot
dead on Monday and several injured by a gunman who opened fire at a high school
in the midwestern US city of St. Louis, police said.
The gunman was shot dead by police officers who rushed to
the Central Visual & Performing Arts High School, St Louis police chief
Mike Sack told reporters.
Sack said the gunman appeared to be about 20 years old and
has not been identified yet.
He said an adult woman and a teenage girl were killed by the
gunman, who was armed with what he called a "long gun."
Sack said police arrived at the school "within a couple
of minutes" of receiving a report of an "active shooter."
"Officers began to clear the building looking for the
shooter," the police chief said. "Upon hearing gunfire, they ran to
that gunfire, located the shooter, and engaged that shooter in an exchange of
gunfire."
He said the gunman was shot and killed.
School shootings are disturbingly frequent in the United
States.
In May, a teenage gunman killed 19 children and two teachers
at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.
A 16-year-old boy pleaded guilty in Michigan on Monday to
shooting dead four classmates at his high school last year with a gun purchased
as a gift by his father.
