A student was shot at Roseburg High School this morning and a suspect was detained near Charley’s BBQ on West Harvard Avenue.
Paramedics were treating the injured party at the high school as of 8 a.m., according to Roseburg Police Sgt. Aaron Dunbar. No information about the victim’s condition was available yet. The victim's parents have been notified.
After the shooting the suspect fled, but a description was provided to police and they found the suspect near the restaurant, Dunbar said.
The suspect held the gun to his head until he was taken into custody and the gun was confiscated.
The campus is closed and no one other than emergency services and authorized personnel are allowed, according to the Roseburg School District.
Parents and community members are urged not to try to go to the campus. Students will be released to go home as soon as law enforcement determines the lockdown can be lifted. High school buses will run their regular routes at that time.
More information will be published as it becomes available.
