According to police, the shooter crashed his car in a ditch before entering the school grounds on foot. Police then engaged the shooter but were unable to prevent him from gaining access to classrooms. The shooter was allegedly wearing body armor, and the two school officers called for tactical backup, who eventually took down the shooter.

Just wild. Here's part of the account from TX Dept of Pub Safety rep. Shooter crashed his car. There were calls to cops that a guy with a gun had crashed his car. He then tried to storm the school. Cops exchanged gunfire with him. But he was able to fight his way in. pic.twitter.com/rEAKhuscrg
