DALLAS — A 17-year-old was shot in the leg after reports of gunfire at Wilmer-Hutchins High School prompted a large police response Tuesday afternoon, a Dallas Fire-Rescue source told WFAA.

The source said an active shooter call prompted the response, which was unfolding just after 1 p.m. at Wilmer-Hutchins, which is located on Langdon Road off Interstate 20 in Southeast Dallas. By 1:45 p.m., the active threat had ended, a source told WFAA.

The Dallas Fire-Rescue source said gunshots were reportedly heard inside the building, and one victim — a 17-year-old male — was shot in the leg. The source said the victim was in stable condition but no more details about their condition was immediately available.

Helicopter footage from the school showed numerous police vehicles, fire trucks and paramedics in the parking lot areas surrounding the school. Also, footage showed dozens of children running from the school across a grassy area. Crews were dispatched to the scene at 1:06 p.m., according to Dallas Fire-Rescue officials.

Dallas police and school officials have not yet confirmed any details about the incident, although Dallas Independent School District officials were asking parents to stay away from the campus while police responded. 

Tuesday’s incident wasn’t the first emergency response at Wilmer-Hutchins High School in recent memory.

Last year, in April 2024, a shooting at Wilmer-Hutchins High School left one student injured.
