Fight at North Carolina High School ends in deadly shooting
(Reuters) - A fist fight between two North Carolina high school students turned deadly on Monday when one of them pulled a gun and shot the other in a crowded corridor before the start of school, authorities said.
The alleged shooter identified Jatwan Cuffie, a 16-year-old student at David W. Butler High School in Matthews, a suburb southeast of Charlotte, turned himself in to a school resource officer and was charged with first-degree murder shot dead of Bobby. McKeithen, 16, said police.
Cuffie shot McKeithen after the two got into a fight just before classes started at 7:15 a.m. local time, said Capt. Stason Tyrrell of the Matthews Police Department.
The school briefly entered a confinement. McKeithen was taken to Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, where he died a few hours later, Tyrrell said.
The students were later handed over to their anxious parents who had jammed the area around the school, while the police spent much of the day interviewing witnesses and combing over the crime scene.
The surveillance video shows the two students fighting before the shooting, Tyrrell said.
"From what I've seen and the information I've received, our school resource officer was very close when it happened, and the situation got under control very quickly," he added.
The Charlotte Mecklenburg Superintendent, Clayton Wilcox, said the school did not have a policy of registering every bag that enters the school, but said that all safety procedures would be reviewed after the shooting.
Keeping firearms out of schools has become an urgent problem across the country since a suspect killed 17 people in a shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in February.
"I do not know how a young person gets a gun in the state of North Carolina," Wilcox told reporters. "But let's analyze all those things and we'll do everything we can to make sure this never happens again."
