A 12-year-old student and a 13-year-old student were both airlifted to a hospital in Lubbock, Texas, in critical condition. The suspected shooter was a seventh-grade 12-year-old student at the school named Mason Campbell, who used a shotgun that was smuggled into the school inside a duffle bag. Campbell faced three counts of aggravated battery with a firearm, and potential confinement in a juvenile detention facility until 21 years of age. In 2015, Campbell received the maximum sentence.
