Wilmer-Hutchins High School in Dallas was rocked by gunfire Tuesday afternoon when a dispute—reportedly over a dice game—turned violent. Four male students were injured: three suffered gunshot wounds, while a fourth sustained a musculoskeletal injury during the chaos.
The shooting occurred shortly after 1:00 p.m. The suspect, believed to be a student, fled the scene and remains at large.
This marks the second shooting at Wilmer-Hutchins in just over a year. In April 2024, a student was shot inside a classroom, sparking widespread protests over campus safety. Despite additional security measures, including metal detectors and a clear-backpack policy, district officials confirmed the weapon involved in Tuesday’s incident did not enter through regular intake checkpoints.
Students were evacuated to the football field and reunited with family at Eagle Stadium. Dallas ISD has canceled classes at the school for the remainder of the week.
Superintendent Stephanie Elizalde called the event “way too familiar,” underscoring growing concerns about persistent threats in school environments.
