Lee's Summit police responded to the school at about 7:50 a.m. Students at the school reported hearing a gunshot from a second-floor bathroom. Police entered the room and found a student. That student was taken to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries. The student passed away soon after arriving at the hospital. The school, located at 901 NE Douglas Street, was put on a soft lockdown and students were kept in their classrooms so paramedics could quickly get upstairs. Then, all students not involved in the incident were sent home at 9:15 a.m. Police do not believe that anyone was in the bathroom when the incident happened, but they are still trying to figure out if students and teachers ran into the bathroom to help after hearing the gunshot. Officers did not say how the student tried to inflict harm. The school district says only LSN will be released early. Students who drive themselves to school were able to leave on their own and normal bus routes continued. The district notified parents of the incident. Friday's football game between Lee's Summit North High School and Blue Springs High School has been postponed. The game will be played at 2 p.m. on Saturday. According to the city of Lee's Summit, the district provided counselors to students and staff who wanted to talk after the dismissal today. A plan is in place to continue that support next week. Officers with the Lee's Summit Police Department are in the process of talking with family. Sgt. Chris Depue said, “Our hearts are broken right along with district staff. It’s a tragic event.” Police are also building a timeline and trying to figure out where the weapon came from. There is help available for those who need it. The Suicide Prevention Lifeline can be reached at 1-800-273-TALK OR 1-800-273-8255. The lifeline offers free and confidential emotional support. It is manned 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, year around. Those in need can also chat live with a counselor by logging onto suicidepreventionlifeline.org. Copyright 2017 KCTV (Meredith Corp.)

Please please please if you or someone you know is considering suicide, there's always help. I've officiated over 10 funerals of people, often young, who committed suicide.
It's just devastating. I'll be praying for everyone affected by this. Please reach out to someone. 1-800-273-8255 |

The fact that it happened at a school might mean a bullying situation. Sad

Sounds like a kid on the edge brought a loaded gun to school. Have to wonder how close this was to being a lot worse.
