ARLINGTON, Texas — Authorities believe an active shooter opened fire at a Texas high school and shot “multiple persons” Wednesday, according to a preliminary internal police briefing.
Law enforcement agencies responded to an “active shooter situation” at Timberview High School in Arlington, a city west of Dallas. Local news reports show heavily armed police and other emergency responders in the school’s parking lot.

The Mansfield Independent School District said in a news release that the school was on lockdown Wednesday morning.

Police said the scene at the high school is currently secure, and there is no current threat to the public or the school.

The police department said on Twitter that officers were doing a “methodical search” and were working closely with other law enforcement agencies.
