Reports indicated a plausible suicide attempt and authorities later confirmed a note was left at the scene as well as a handgun. He was later air-lifted to Memorial Hermann Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The school nurse was the first medical responder to the student.[1] http://www.fortbendnow.com/news/2093/seven-lake-high-school-student-shoots-himself-on-campus
