Police arrested a “person of interest” Thursday after a possibly accidental shooting killed a 17-year-old girl in an Alabama high school classroom a day earlier.

Birmingham interim Police Chief Orlando Wilson said investigat­ors reviewed surveillan­ce video for clues and interviewe­d students and staff to figure out exactly what led to Wednesday afternoon’s shooting at dismissal time at Huffman High School.
