Reporter: WE HAVE MOVED OUR
CAMERA DOWN A BIT WHERE WE CAN
SHOW YOU SOME OF THE SIGNS OF
THE MAYHEM THAT OCCURRED
EARLIER.
LOOK AT THOSE SHATTERED WINDOWS
AND YOU CAN SEE HOLES THAT
APPEAR TO BE MADE BY SHOTGUN
BLASTS, CAUSED BY A FORMER
EMPLOYEE WHO SHOWED UP THERE AT
8:30 THIS MORNING, ACCORDING TO
DEPUTIES.
THEY ARE TELLING US THEY ARE
NOT IDENTIFYING THIS MAN YET.
THEY ARE TELLING US HE WAS
FIRED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO.
HE CAME BACK TODAY, WALKED INTO
THE BUILDING, ANNOUNCED, THEY
ARE SAYING, QUOTE, Y'ALL RUINED
MY LIFE, AND BEGAN SHOOTING.
HE MOVED THROUGH THE BUILDING,
WHERE HE FINALLY CONFRONTED
ANOTHER EMPLOYEE.
FIRED THE SHOTGUN INTO THAT
MAN, KILLING HIM.
TWO OTHER EMPLOYEES WERE STRUCK
BY SHRAPNEL APPARENTLY FROM
THOSE BLASTS.
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT RALPH
GONZALEZ TELLING US IT DOES NOT
APPEAR THOSE WOUNDS ARE SERIOUS.
WE HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL THAT
INJURED HIS ARM.
AN INDIVIDUAL THAT INJURED HIS
KNEE.
THOSE ARE THE TWO INJURIES I

INVESTIGATION CONTINUES.
AS YOU MENTIONED THERE ARE
SCHOOLS.

REPORTING LIVE IN KATY, PHIL
ARCHER, KPRC CHANNEL 2 NEWS.
PHIL, THANK YOU.
CHANNEL 2'S BRANDON WALKER ALSO
ON THE SCENE FOR US.
YOU ACTUALLY SPOKE WITH SOME OF
THE STUDENTS IN ALL THE
LOCKDOWN.
YEAH, INDEED I DID.
INCLUDING ONE STUDENT WHO
HAPPENS TO LIVE HERE IN THE
AREA.
FIRST I WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON A
POINT MY COLLEAGUE PHIL ARCHER
JUST MADE.
THAT IS, THE LOCKDOWN LIFTED IN
KATY I.S.D.
PARTICULARLY MORTON RANCH HIGH
SCHOOL, WHICH HAPPENS TO BE
DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET.
WHILE THE LOCKDOWN MAY HAVE
BEEN LIFTED, OFFICIALS ARE
ASKING PEOPLE TO STAY AWAY FROM
CAMPUS, PARTICULARLY MORTON
RANCH, AS THERE IS STILL AN
ACTIVE INVESTIGATION GOING ON
AS YOU SAW IN PHIL ARCHER'S
LIVE SHOT.
ALSO NEAR THIS AREA, I
MENTIONED A NEIGHBORHOOD WITH
SOME HAVING A BIRD'S EYE VIEW
OF KNIGHT TRANSPORTATION.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU PICTURES
SHOWING WHAT THE VIEW FROM ONE
PERSON'S BACK WINDOW.
LET'S GET THOSE ON YOUR SCREEN.
YOU CAN SEE WINDOWS THAT PHIL
SHOWED YOU LIVE APPEARING TO BE
SHOT THROUGH.
YOU SEE BULLET HOLES IN THE
WINDOWS OF KNIGHT
TRANSPORTATION.
NOW FROM THE GROUND, VIDEO OF
MORTON HIGH SCHOOL BEFORE THE
LOCKDOWN WAS LIFTED.
KATY I.S.D. POLICE WERE ON
SCENE, AS WELL AS OTHER
PERSONNEL.
WE SPOKE TO A MORTON HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENT, WHO WAS TOLD TO
TURN AROUND BECAUSE THAT SCHOOL
WAS ON LOCKDOWN.
SHE ALSO LIVES AS I MENTIONED
IN A HOUSE BEHIND KNIGHT
TRANSPORTATION.
SHE TOOK THOSE PICTURES.
SHE SAYS SHE ONES WORRIED ABOUT
SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY HAVE A
PRETTY SOLID PLAN IN PLACE.
SHE WAS WORRIED ABOUT HER
FAMILY, DIRECTLY BEHIND THE
LINE OF FIRE.
THIS IS LIKE MY BACKYARD.
THAT WAS LIKE OH MY GOODNESS.
THEY ARE REALLY PREPARED OVER
THERE I ALREADY KNOW THE
TEACHERS HAD IT TOGETHER.
YOU MENTIONED NOT IN YOUR
BACKYARD.
CAN YOU TALK TO ME ABOUT THAT.
WE ARE UPSTAIRS AND CAN SEE
BULLET HOLES IN THE WINDOWS,
ALL THAT STUFF.
SO I WANT TO SHOW YOU NOW IN
THIS VIDEO AS WE PULL OUT FROM
WHAT IS THE CORRECT SCENE AND
PAN OVER TO THE CASTLE ROCK
SUBDIVISION.
YOU CAN SEE HOW CLOSE PROXIMITY
WE ARE TALKING.
DIRECTLY NEXT TO THE KNIGHT
TRANSPORTATION.
THAT YOUNG LADY WE JUST SPOKE
TO IS DIRECTLY BEHIND KNIGHT
TRANSPORTATION.
OTHER NEIGHBORS TELLING ME THEY
WERE CONCERNED, PARTICULARLY
THE PROXIMITY TO THEIR HOMES,
SO THEY ARE HAPPY EVERYTHING'S
