School shooting victim released from hospital

GREAT MILLS, MD. » A teenager used his father’s legally-owned handgun in an attack inside his high school in Maryland, police said Wednesday.

A 14-year-old boy who was shot in the thigh was released Wednesday from a hospital, while the girl, Jaelynn Willey, was still fighting for her life at a the University of Maryland Prince George’s Hospital Center.

“All indications suggest the shooting was not a random act of violence,” police said in a statement.

Austin Rollins, 17, was killed Tuesday morning at Great Mills High School when a school resource officer fired off a shot at the attacker. It was not yet clear whether Rollins took his own life with his father’s semi-automatic Glock handgun or was killed by the officer’s bullet.

Investigators with the St. Mary’s County sheriff’s office said Rollins shot a 16-year-old girl in a hallway within minutes of entering the high school. Rollins and the girl had recently ended a relationship.
