Once the students and staff began to emerge from the school building, they were greeted with a hail of gunfire. The ambush left four students and a teacher dead and 11 others wounded. Police apprehended two suspects–ages 11 and 13– just minutes after the midday shooting outside Westside Middle School in the quiet town of Jonesboro, Ark. Authorities said the boys were running away and were apprehended a few hundred yards from the shooting scene. It was unclear whether one of the boys or a third person pulled the alarm. The suspects were armed with handguns and rifles, some of which appeared to be semi-automatics. Two rifles and other weapons were seized by police officials. Police said they arrived within four minutes of being notified of the shootings, which began shortly after noon. They immediately encountered a bloody, chaotic scene of screaming students, staff, and stunned victims.
