The local sheriff says a student has died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound after shooting and injuring another student at West Texas high school.

Brewster County Sheriff Ronny Dodson tells radio station KVLF that a female student shot another female student inside Alpine High School on Thursday.

Dodson says the injured student ran outside seeking help and was taken to a hospital with injuries that weren’t considered life threatening.

He says a law enforcement officer also suffered injuries that weren’t life threatening, but no details have been released.

Alpine is 220 miles southeast of El Paso
