Student dies following shooting at US school

A pupil armed with a handgun wounded two classmates at a Maryland high school yesterday, officials said, just days before a student-organised nationwide march for gun control.

The pupil, who was not identified, died following the incident at Great Mills High School, Tim Cameron, St Mary’s County Sheriff, told reporters.

It comes about five weeks after a shooting at a Florida high school left 14 students and three adults dead.
