A gunman shot and killed a male student at a high school in Tacoma, Washington before the start of classes on Wednesday, Reuters quoted a police spokesman as saying. Police had a suspect in custody after the shooter fled the scene, according to Tacoma Police spokesman Mark Fulghum. Police did not have a motive for the shooting, but the suspect and victim were students at Foss High School. The suspect was picked up a few miles (km) away from the school and police would not disclose the age or name of the shooter or victim. School officials evacuated students from the campus and canceled classes for the day. It was the first day of classes at the high school after a holiday break.
