The officers continued to search the school for "any other possible suspects," and Finner confirmed the suspect had only one weapon at this time. 

"I want to thank all our teams here," Finner noted. "You know when we get a call that we think it’s an active shooter, but I’m really proud of the response. It could have been a lot worse."
