This incident comes less than a year after a shooting at the same school in April 2024, when a 17-year-old student was shot in the leg inside a classroom. That event prompted widespread concern, with students protesting over security measures after it was revealed a metal detector at the school was malfunctioning. The earlier shooting involved a suspect believed to be another student, though no motive was publicly confirmed.
