A 15-year-old boy was killed in a shooting incident just outside Westfield High School in Spring ISD, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said on Tuesday. A search is underway for the perpetrator.<\/p>\n
As of Tuesday afternoon, investigators had few details beyond the killing itself. Around 2:40 p.m. on Tuesday, law enforcement began responding to calls that a boy had been shot. He was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
Sadly, the teen male was pronounced deceased at the hospital. Our condolences go out to the family. <\/p>\n
An active investigation is underway and the search for the alleged shooter continues. <\/p>\n

He said it was not clear what led up to the shooting.<\/p>\n In a post on social media, Spring ISD confirmed the victim was a Westfield High School student. The district will increase its law enforcement presence throughout the district.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are simply no words that can ease the pain of losing a young life,\u201d the post reads.<\/a> \u201cOn behalf of the entire Spring ISD family, we extend our deepest sympathies to the student’s family and loved ones, as well as the friends, classmates, teachers and staff members who are grieving this tremendous loss. During this incredibly difficult time, we ask our community to keep this family in your thoughts and to respect their privacy as they grieve.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite the active search, Gonzalez said there was no active threat to students or families in the area north of Houston. The shooting took place after most students had been let out of the school, and it happened on a sidewalk outside the campus property. <\/p>\n
